1And it came to pass, as He went into the house of one of the chief Separates (Pharisees) to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched Him.
2 And, behold, a certain man was there
before him who had the dropsy.
3 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answering their
accusing thoughts spoke to the lawyers and The Separates (Pharisees), saying, “Is it lawful to heal
on the Sabbath day?”
4 But they held their peace. So, He took
him, healed him, and let him go.
5 Then He spoke again, “Which of you will have
an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath
day?”
6 But they could not debate Him about these
things.
7 Then he told a parable to those who were invited,
when he observed how they chose out the chief seats, saying to them.
8 “When you are invited to a wedding, do
not sit down in the highest seat; lest a more honorable man than you has been
invited.
9 And he that invited both of you will come
and say to you, ‘Give this man place’; and you shamefully have to take the
lowest seat.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit
down in the lowest seat; that when he that invited you comes, he may say to you,
‘Friend, go up higher’: then you will have honor in the presence of them that
sit at the meal with you.
11 For whosoever exalts himself will be brought
low; and he that humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you make a dinner
or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor
your rich neighbors; lest they invite you, and pay you back.
13 But when you make a feast, call the
poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
14 You will be blessed; for they cannot pay
you back: for you will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.”
15 When one of them who sat eating with Him
heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he that will eat bread in the Kingdom
of God.”
16 Then said He to him, “A certain man made a
great supper, and invited many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to
say to those who were invited, ‘Come; for all things are now ready.’
18 And they all, with one consent, began to
make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I
must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 And another said, ‘I just bought five
yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: Please excuse me.’
20 And another said, ‘I have married a
wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
21 So that servant came and told his lord
these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go
out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, and
the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.’
22 And the servant said, ‘Lord, I have done
as you have commanded, and yet there is room.’
23 So the lord said to the servant, ‘Go out
into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be
filled.
24 For I say to you, that none of those men
who were invited will taste of my supper.”
25 Then great multitudes went with Him: and He
turned, and said to them,
26 “If any man comes to Me,
and hates not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and
sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and
come after Me, cannot be My disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a
tower, does not sit down first, and count the cost, whether he has sufficient
to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he has laid the
foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, ‘This man began to build, and
was not able to finish.’
31 Or what king, going to make war against
another king, does not sit down first, and consult whether he be able with ten
thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 If not, while the other is yet a great
way off, he sends a message and desires conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, any of you that does not
forsake all that he has, he cannot be My disciple.
34 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its
savor, what will it season?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet
for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”
