| 14:11 | For ech that enhaunsith hym, schal be lowid; and he that meketh hym, schal be hiyed. |
| 14:12 | And he seide to hym, that hadde bodun hym to the feeste, Whanne thou makist a mete, or a soper, nyle thou clepe thi freendis, nether thi britheren, nethir cosyns, nethir neiyboris, ne riche men; lest perauenture thei bidde thee ayen to the feeste, and it be yolde ayen to thee. |

| 14:22 | And the seruaunt seide, Lord, it is don, as thou hast comaundid, and yit there is a void place. |

| 14:27 | And he that berith not his cross, and cometh aftir me, may not be my disciple. |
| 14:28 | For who of you willynge to bilde a toure, whether he `first sitte not, and countith the spensis that ben nedeful, if he haue to perfourme? |
| 14:29 | Lest aftir that he hath set the foundement, and mowe not perfourme, alle that seen, bigynnen to scorne hym, and seie, For this man bigan to bilde, |
| 14:30 | and myyte not make an ende. |
| 14:31 | Or what kyng that wole go to do a bataile ayens anothir kyng, whether he sittith not first, and bithenkith, if he may with ten thousynde go ayens hym that cometh ayens hym with twenti thousynde? |

| 14:34 | Salt is good; but if salt vanysche, in what thing schal it be sauerid? |
| 14:35 | Nethir in erthe, nethir in donghille it is profitable, but it schal be cast out. He that hath eeris of herynge, here he. |
| 14:1 | And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him. |
| 14:2 | And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie. |
| 14:3 | Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day? |
| 14:4 | And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe, |
| 14:5 | And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day? |
| 14:6 | And they could not answere him againe to those things. |
| 14:7 | He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them, |
| 14:8 | When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him, |
| 14:9 | And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome. |
| 14:10 | But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee. |
| 14:11 | For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted. |
| 14:12 | Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee. |
| 14:13 | But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, |
| 14:14 | And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust. |
| 14:15 | Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God. |
| 14:16 | Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many, |
| 14:17 | And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie. |
| 14:18 | But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused. |
| 14:19 | And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused. |
| 14:20 | And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come. |
| 14:21 | So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde. |
| 14:22 | And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome. |
| 14:23 | Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled. |
| 14:24 | For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper. |
| 14:25 | Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them, |
| 14:26 | If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple. |
| 14:27 | And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple. |
| 14:28 | For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it, |
| 14:29 | Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him, |
| 14:30 | Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end? |
| 14:31 | Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand? |
| 14:32 | Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace. |
| 14:33 | So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. |
| 14:34 | Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted? |
| 14:35 | It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. |
| 14:1 | Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched Him. |
| 14:2 | And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. |
| 14:3 | And Jesus, responding, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" |
| 14:4 | But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. |
| 14:5 | Then He responded to them, saying, "Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?" |
| 14:6 | And they could not answer Him regarding these things. |
| 14:7 | So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: |
| 14:8 | "When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;" |
| 14:9 | and he who invited you and him come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place." |
| 14:10 | But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you." |
| 14:11 | Because, whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
| 14:12 | Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brethren, your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid." |
| 14:13 | But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind." |
| 14:14 | And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; because, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." |
| 14:15 | Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!" |
| 14:16 | Then He said to him, "A certain man made a large supper and invited many," |
| 14:17 | and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because all things are now ready.'" |
| 14:18 | But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.'" |
| 14:19 | And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.'" |
| 14:20 | Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'" |
| 14:21 | So that servant came and reported these things to his master. 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 here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.'" |
| 14:22 | And the servant said, 'Master, it is done as you have commanded, and still there is room.'" |
| 14:23 | Then the master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." |
| 14:24 | Because, I say to you that none of those men who were invited will taste my supper.'" |
| 14:25 | Now large crowds went with Him. And He turned and said to them, |
| 14:26 | "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." |
| 14:27 | And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple." |
| 14:28 | Because, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?" |
| 14:29 | Lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all who see it begin to mock him," |
| 14:30 | saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'" |
| 14:31 | Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?" |
| 14:32 | Or else, while the other is still a long way off, he sends a delegation and desires conditions of peace." |
| 14:33 | So likewise, whoever it is of you who does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple." |
| 14:34 | "Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how will it be seasoned?" |
| 14:35 | It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" |
