Chapter 14
1
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, +w Is it lawful|strong=“G1832”+w* +w to heal|strong=“G2323”+w* +w on the sabbath day|strong=“G4521”+w*?
4
And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5
And answered them, saying, +w Which|strong=“G5101”+w* +w of you|strong=“G5216”+w* +w shall have|strong=“G1706”+w* +w an ass|strong=“G3688”+w* +w or|strong=“G2228”+w* +w an ox|strong=“G1016”+w* +w fallen|strong=“G1706”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w a pit|strong=“G5421”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w will not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w straightway|strong=“G2112”+w* +w pull|strong=“G0385”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w* +w out|strong=“G0385”+w* +w on|strong=“G1722”+w* +w the sabbath|strong=“G4521”+w* +w day|strong=“G2250”+w*?
6
And they could not answer him again to these things.
7
¶ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8
+w When|strong=“G3752”+w* +w thou art bidden|strong=“G2564”+w* +w of|strong=“G5259”+w* +w any|strong=“G5100”+w* +add man+add* +w to|strong=“G1519”+w* +w a wedding|strong=“G1062”+w*, +w sit|strong=“G2625”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w down|strong=“G2625”+w* +w in|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the highest room|strong=“G4411”+w*; +w lest|strong=“G3379”+w* +w a more honourable man|strong=“G1784”+w* +w than thou|strong=“G4675”+w* +w be|strong=“G5600”+w* +w bidden|strong=“G2564”+w* +w of|strong=“G5259”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w*;

+w And|strong=“G2532”+w* +w he|strong=“G3588”+w* +w that bade|strong=“G2564”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4571”+w* +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w* +w come|strong=“G2064”+w* and +w say|strong=“G2046”+w* +w to thee|strong=“G4671”+w*, +w Give|strong=“G1325”+w* +w this man|strong=“G5129”+w* +w place|strong=“G5117”+w*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w thou|strong=“G0756”+w* +w begin|strong=“G0756”+w* +w with|strong=“G3326”+w* +w shame|strong=“G0152”+w* +w to take|strong=“G2722”+w* +w the lowest|strong=“G2078”+w* +w room|strong=“G5117”+w*.

+w But|strong=“G0235”+w* +w when|strong=“G3752”+w* +w thou art bidden|strong=“G2564”+w*, +w go|strong=“G4198”+w* +w and sit down|strong=“G0377”+w* +w in|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the lowest|strong=“G2078”+w* +w room|strong=“G5117”+w*; +w that|strong=“G2443”+w* +w when|strong=“G3752”+w* +w he that bade|strong=“G2564”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4571”+w* +w cometh|strong=“G2064”+w*, +w he may say|strong=“G2036”+w* +w unto thee|strong=“G4671”+w*, +w Friend|strong=“G5384”+w*, +w go up|strong=“G4320”+w* +w higher|strong=“G0511”+w*: +w then|strong=“G5119”+w* +w shalt|strong=“G2071”+w* +w thou|strong=“G4671”+w* +w have worship|strong=“G1391”+w* +w in the presence|strong=“G1799”+w* +w of them that|strong=“G3588”+w* +w sit at meat with|strong=“G4873”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4671”+w*.
11
+w For|strong=“G3754”+w* +w whosoever|strong=“G3956”+w* +w exalteth|strong=“G5312”+w* +w himself|strong=“G1438”+w* +w shall be abased|strong=“G5013”+w*; +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w he that|strong=“G3588”+w* +w humbleth|strong=“G5013”+w* +w himself|strong=“G1438”+w* +w shall be exalted|strong=“G5312”+w*.
12
¶ Then said he also to him that bade him, +w When|strong=“G3752”+w* +w thou makest|strong=“G4160”+w* +w a dinner|strong=“G0712”+w* +w or|strong=“G2228”+w* +w a supper|strong=“G1173”+w*, +w call|strong=“G5455”+w* +w not|strong=“G3361”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w friends|strong=“G5384”+w*, +w nor|strong=“G3366”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w brethren|strong=“G0080”+w*, +w neither|strong=“G3366”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w kinsmen|strong=“G4773”+w*, +w nor|strong=“G3366”+w* +add thy+add* +w rich|strong=“G4145”+w* +w neighbours|strong=“G1069”+w*; +w lest|strong=“G3379”+w* +w they|strong=“G0846”+w* +w also|strong=“G2532”+w* +w bid|strong=“G0479”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4571”+w* +w again|strong=“G0479”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w a recompence|strong=“G0468”+w* +w be made|strong=“G1096”+w* +w thee|strong=“G4671”+w*.

15
¶ And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16
Then said he unto him, +w A certain|strong=“G5100”+w* +w man|strong=“G0444”+w* +w made|strong=“G4160”+w* +w a great|strong=“G3173”+w* +w supper|strong=“G1173”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w bade|strong=“G2564”+w* +w many|strong=“G4183”+w*:
