Healing on the sabbath
And once, when he went into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, they were watching him. And there was a certain man in front of him whose body was badly swollen. And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they said nothing. And he took him and healed him and let him go. And he answered them, saying, Which of you, if he had a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, wouldn't pull him out straight away on the sabbath day? And they couldn't answer him back about these things.
And it happened as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And look — there was a certain man in front of him who had dropsy. And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him and healed him and let him go. And answered them: Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit and won't straight away pull him out on the sabbath day? And they couldn't answer him again about these things.
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. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? And they could not answer him again to these things.

The top places
And he put a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best places, saying to them, When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, don't sit down in the best place, in case a more distinguished man than you has been invited by him. And the one who invited you both comes and says to you, Give this man your place — and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place. So that when the one who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you will be honoured in front of those sitting at the table with you. Because whoever exalts himself will be brought low, and whoever humbles himself will be lifted up. Then he said to the man who had invited him, When you put on a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbours — in case they invite you back and you are repaid. But when you put on a feast, call the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they can't repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
And he spoke a story to the ones who were asked, when he noticed how they chose the top places, and said to them: When you're asked by any man to a wedding, don't sit down in the top place, in case a more honourable man than you is asked by him. And the one who asked you and him comes and says to you: Give this man place — and you start with shame to take the lowest place. But when you're asked, go and sit down in the lowest place, so when the one who asked you comes he can say to you: Mate, go up higher. Then you'll have honour in front of the ones sitting at table with you. Because whoever lifts himself up will be brought low. And whoever brings himself low will be lifted up. Then he said too to the one who asked him: When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your mates or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbours — in case they ask you back again and you're paid back. But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you'll be blessed. Because they can't pay you back. Because you'll be paid back at the resurrection of the righteous.
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

And the one who invited you both comes and says to you, Give this man your place — and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

Because whoever exalts himself will be brought low, and whoever humbles himself will be lifted up.
Because whoever lifts himself up will be brought low. And whoever brings himself low will be lifted up.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Then he said to the man who had invited him, When you put on a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbours — in case they invite you back and you are repaid.

But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
And you will be blessed, because they can't repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.
And you'll be blessed. Because they can't pay you back. Because you'll be paid back at the resurrection of the righteous.
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
The great supper
And when one of those sitting at the table with him heard this, he said to him, Blessed is the man who will eat bread in the kingdom of God. Then he said to him, A certain man put on a great supper and invited many. And he sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, Come, because everything is ready now. And they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground and I have to go and see it. Please excuse me. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me. And another said, I have married a wife, and so I can't come. So that servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town, and bring in the poor and the crippled and the lame and the blind. And the servant said, Sir, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room. And the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and the hedgerows and compel them to come in, so my house may be filled. Because I tell you that not one of those men who were invited will taste my supper.
And when one of the ones sitting at table with him heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is the one who'll eat bread in the kingdom of God. Then he said to him: A certain man made a great supper and asked plenty. And sent his servant at supper time to say to the ones who were asked: Come, because everything is ready now. And they all with one mind started to make excuses. The first said to him: I've bought a piece of ground and have to go and see it. Please have me excused. And another said: I've bought five yoke of oxen and I go to test them. Please have me excused. And another said: I've married a wife, so I can't come. So that servant came and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind. And the servant said: Lord, it's done the way you ordered, and there's still room. And the lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges and make them come in, so my house can be filled. Because I say to you, none of those men who were asked will taste my supper.
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. Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed 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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Counting the cost
And great crowds went with him. And he turned and said to them, If any man comes to me and doesn't hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters — yes, and his own life as well — he can't be my disciple. And whoever doesn't carry his cross and come after me can't be my disciple. Because which of you, meaning to build a tower, doesn't sit down first and count the cost, to see whether he has enough to finish it? Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation and can't finish it, everyone who sees it begins to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and wasn't able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, doesn't sit down first and work out whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a long way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So in the same way, whoever of you doesn't give up everything he has can't be my disciple. Salt is good. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how will it be seasoned again? It is no good for the soil or for the manure heap. Men throw it out. Anyone who has ears to hear, let him hear.
And plenty of people went with him. And he turned and said to them: If any man comes to me and doesn't hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life too, he can't be my disciple. And whoever doesn't carry his cross and come after me can't be my disciple. Because which of you, meaning to build a tower, doesn't sit down first and count the cost, whether he's got enough to finish it? In case after he's laid the foundation and isn't able to finish it, everyone who sees it starts to make fun of him, and says: This man started to build and wasn't able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, doesn't sit down first and take counsel whether he's able with ten thousand to meet the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a group and asks for terms of peace. So the same way, whoever of you doesn't give up everything he's got can't be my disciple. Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its taste, what'll it be seasoned with? It isn't fit for the land or for the dunghill. But men throw it out. The one who's got ears to hear, let him hear.
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
