Luke 14

2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the Sabbath: 7 teacheth humility: 12 to feast the poor: 16 under the parable of the great supper, sheweth how worldly minded men, who contemn the Word of God, shall be shut out of heaven. 25 Those who will be his disciples, to bear their cross must make their accounts aforehand, lest with shame they revolt from him afterward, 34 and become altogether unprofitable, like salt that hath lost his savour.

 14:1 ¶ And 2532 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 as y1722 he 846 went 2064 z5629 into 1519 the house 3624 of one 5100 of the x3588 chief 758 Pharisees 5330 to eat 5315 z5629 bread 740 on the sabbath y4521 day, x4521 that 2532 they 846 watched 2258 3906 z5713 z5734 him. 846

 14:2 And, 2532 behold, 2400 z5628 there was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 man 444 before 1715 him 846 which had the dropsy. 5203

 14:3 And 2532 Jesus 2424 answering 611 z5679 spake 2036 z5627 unto 4314 the x3588 lawyers 3544 and 2532 Pharisees, 5330 saying, 3004 z5723 x1487 Is it y1487 lawful 1832 z5748 to heal 2323 z5721 on the x3588 sabbath day? 4521

 14:4 And 1161 they x3588 held their peace. 2270 z5656 And 2532 he took 1949 z5637 [him], and healed 2390 z5662 him, 846 and 2532 let him go; 630 z5656

 14:5 And 2532 answered 611 z5679 them, 846 y4314 saying, 2036 z5627 Which 5101 of you 5216 shall have an ass 3688 or 2228 an ox 1016 fallen 1706 z5695 into 1519 a pit, 5421 and 2532 will y385 z0 not 3756 straightway 2112 pull y385 z0 him y846 out 385 z5692 x846 on 1722 the x3588 sabbath 4521 day? 2250

 14:6 And 2532 they could 2480 z5656 not 3756 answer y470 z0 him y846 again 470 z5677 x846 to 4314 these things. 5023

 14:7 ¶ And 1161 he put forth 3004 z5707 a parable 3850 to 4314 those which were bidden, 2564 z5772 when he marked 1907 z5723 how 4459 they chose out 1586 z5710 the x3588 chief rooms; 4411 saying 3004 z5723 unto 4314 them, 846

 14:8 When 3752 thou art bidden 2564 z5686 of 5259 any 5100 [man] to 1519 a wedding, 1062 sit y2625 z0 not y3361 down 2625 z5686 x3361 in 1519 the x3588 highest room; 4411 lest 3379 a more honourable man 1784 than thou 4675 be 5600 z5753 bidden 2564 z5772 of 5259 him; 846

 14:9 And 2532 he that bade 2564 z5660 thee 4571 and 2532 him 846 come 2064 z5631 and say 2046 z5692 to thee, 4671 Give 1325 z5628 this man 5129 place; 5117 and 2532 y5119 thou x5119 begin 756 z5672 with 3326 shame 152 to take 2722 z5721 the x3588 lowest 2078 room. 5117

 14:10 But 235 when 3752 thou art bidden, 2564 z5686 go 4198 z5679 and sit down 377 z5657 in 1519 the x3588 lowest 2078 room; 5117 that 2443 when 3752 he that bade 2564 z5761 thee 4571 cometh, 2064 z5632 he may say 2036 z5632 unto thee, 4671 Friend, 5384 go up 4320 z5628 higher: 511 then 5119 shalt thou 4671 have 2071 z5704 worship 1391 in the presence 1799 of them that sit at meat y4873 z5740 with x4873 thee. 4671

 14:11 For 3754 whosoever 3956 exalteth 5312 z5723 himself 1438 shall be abased; 5013 z5701 and 2532 he that humbleth 5013 z5723 himself 1438 shall be exalted. 5312 z5701

 14:12 ¶ Then 1161 said x3004 he y3004 z5707 also 2532 to him that bade 2564 z5761 him, 846 When 3752 thou makest 4160 z5725 a dinner 712 or 2228 a supper, 1173 call 5455 z5720 not 3361 thy 4675 friends, 5384 nor 3366 thy 4675 brethren, 80 neither 3366 thy 4675 kinsmen, 4773 nor 3366 [thy] rich 4145 neighbours; 1069 lest 3379 they 846 also 2532 bid y479 z0 thee y4571 again, 479 z5661 x4571 and 2532 a recompence 468 be made 1096 z5638 thee. 4671

 14:13 But 235 when 3752 thou makest 4160 z5725 a feast, 1403 call 2564 z5720 the poor, 4434 the maimed, 376 the lame, 5560 the blind: 5185

 14:14 And 2532 thou shalt be 2071 z5704 blessed; 3107 for 3754 they cannot 3756 2192 z5719 recompense 467 z5629 thee: 4671 for 1063 thou 4671 shalt be recompensed 467 z5701 at 1722 the x3588 resurrection 386 of the x3588 just. 1342

 14:15 ¶ And 1161 when one 5100 of them that sat at meat with x4873 him y4873 z5740 heard 191 z5660 these things, 5023 he said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Blessed 3107 [is] he 3739 that shall eat 5315 z5695 bread 740 in 1722 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God. 2316

 14:16 Then 1161 said x2036 he y2036 z5627 x3588 unto him, 846 A certain 5100 man 444 made 4160 z5656 a great 3173 supper, 1173 and 2532 bade 2564 z5656 many: 4183

 14:17 And 2532 sent 649 z5656 his y846 x848 servant 1401 at supper 1173 time 5610 to say 2036 z5629 to them that were bidden, 2564 z5772 Come; 2064 z5737 for 3754 all things 3956 are 2076 z5748 now 2235 ready. 2092

 14:18 And 2532 they all 3956 with 575 one 3391 [consent] began 756 z5662 to make excuse. 3868 z5738 The x3588 first 4413 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 I have bought 59 z5656 a piece of ground, 68 and 2532 I must 2192 z5719 needs 318 go 1831 z5629 and 2532 see 1492 z5629 it: 846 I pray 2065 z5719 thee 4571 have 2192 z5720 me 3165 excused. 3868 z5772

 14:19 And 2532 another 2087 said, 2036 z5627 I have bought 59 z5656 five 4002 yoke 2201 of oxen, 1016 and 2532 I go 4198 z5736 to prove 1381 z5658 them: 846 I pray 2065 z5719 thee 4571 have 2192 z5720 me 3165 excused. 3868 z5772

 14:20 And 2532 another 2087 said, 2036 z5627 I have married 1060 z5656 a wife, 1135 and 2532 therefore 1223 5124 I cannot 3756 1410 z5736 come. 2064 z5629

 14:21 So 2532 that 1565 servant 1401 came, 3854 z5637 and shewed 518 z5656 his y846 x848 lord 2962 these things. 5023 Then 5119 the x3588 master of the house 3617 being angry 3710 z5685 said 2036 z5627 to his y846 x848 servant, 1401 Go out 1831 z5628 quickly 5030 into 1519 the x3588 streets 4113 and 2532 lanes 4505 of the x3588 city, 4172 and 2532 bring in 1521 z5628 hither 5602 the x3588 poor, 4434 and 2532 the maimed, 376 and 2532 the halt, 5560 and 2532 the blind. 5185

 14:22 And 2532 the x3588 servant 1401 said, 2036 z5627 Lord, 2962 it is done 1096 z5754 as 5613 thou hast commanded, 2004 z5656 and 2532 yet 2089 there is 2076 z5748 room. 5117

 14:23 And 2532 the x3588 lord 2962 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 the x3588 servant, 1401 Go out 1831 z5628 into 1519 the x3588 highways 3598 and 2532 hedges, 5418 and 2532 compel 315 z5657 [them] to come in, 1525 z5629 that 2443 my 3450 house 3624 may be filled. 1072 z5686

 14:24 For 1063 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 none 3762 of those 1565 men 435 which y3588 were bidden 2564 z5772 shall taste 1089 z5695 of my 3450 supper. 1173

 14:25 ¶ And 1161 there went y4848 z5711 great y4183 multitudes y3793 with x4848 x4183 x3793 him: 846 and 2532 he turned, 4762 z5651 and said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 them, 846

 14:26 If any 1536 [man] come 2064 z5736 to 4314 me, 3165 and 2532 hate 3404 z5719 not 3756 his 1438 father, 3962 and 2532 mother, 3384 and 2532 wife, 1135 and 2532 children, 5043 and 2532 brethren, 80 and 2532 sisters, 79 yea, 2089 and 1161 his own 1438 life 5590 also, 2532 he cannot 3756 1410 z5736 be 1511 z5750 my 3450 disciple. 3101

 14:27 And 2532 whosoever 3748 doth y941 z0 not 3756 bear 941 z5719 his y846 x848 cross, 4716 and 2532 come 2064 z5736 after 3694 me, 3450 cannot 3756 1410 z5736 be 1511 z5750 my 3450 disciple. 3101

 14:28 For 1063 which 5101 of 1537 you, 5216 intending 2309 z5723 to build 3618 z5658 a tower, 4444 sitteth y2523 z0 not y3780 down 2523 z5660 x3780 first, 4412 and counteth 5585 z5719 the x3588 cost, 1160 whether 1487 he have 2192 z5719 [sufficient] to y4314 finish 535 x4314 [it]?

 14:29 Lest y3363 haply, 3379 after x2443 he 846 hath laid 5087 z5631 the foundation, 2310 and 2532 is y2480 z0 not y3361 able 2480 z5723 x3361 to finish 1615 z5658 [it], all 3956 that behold 2334 z5723 [it] begin 756 z5672 to mock 1702 z5721 him, 846

 14:30 Saying, 3004 z5723 This 3778 y3754 man 444 began 756 z5662 to build, 3618 z5721 and 2532 was y2480 z0 not y3756 able 2480 z5656 x3756 to finish. 1615 z5658

 14:31 Or 2228 what 5101 king, 935 going 4198 z5740 to make y4820 z5629 war 4171 x4820 x1519 against y1519 another 2087 king, 935 sitteth y2523 z0 not y3780 down 2523 z5660 x3780 first, 4412 and x2532 consulteth 1011 z5736 whether 1487 he be 2076 z5748 able 1415 with 1722 ten 1176 thousand 5505 to meet 528 z5658 him that cometh 2064 z5740 against 1909 him 846 with 3326 twenty 1501 thousand? 5505

 14:32 Or else, 1490 while the other 846 is 5607 z5752 yet 2089 a great way off, 4206 he sendeth 649 z5660 an ambassage, 4242 and desireth 2065 z5719 conditions y4314 x3588 of x4314 peace. 1515

 14:33 So y3779 x3767 likewise, y3767 x3779 whosoever 3956 he be of 1537 you 5216 that 3739 forsaketh 657 z5731 not 3756 all 3956 that he hath, 5224 1438 z5723 he cannot 3756 1410 z5736 be 1511 z5750 my 3450 disciple. 3101

 14:34 ¶ Salt 217 [is] good: 2570 but 1161 if 1437 the x3588 salt 217 have lost his savour, 3471 z5686 wherewith 1722 5101 shall it be seasoned? 741 z5701

 14:35 It is 2076 z5748 neither 3777 fit 2111 for 1519 the land, 1093 nor yet 3777 for 1519 the dunghill; 2874 [but] men cast 906 z5719 it 846 out. 1854 He that hath 2192 z5723 ears 3775 to hear, 191 z5721 let him hear. 191 z5720
