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,
Is
it
lawful
to
heal
on
the
sabbath
day?
4
And
they
held
their
peace.
And
he
took
[him],
and
healed
him,
and
let
him
5
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?
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
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;
9
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.
10
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.
11
For
whosoever
exalteth
himself
shall
be
abased;
and
he
that
humbleth
himself
shall
be
exalted.
12
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.
13
But
when
thou
makest
a
feast,
call
the
poor,
the
maimed,
the
lame,
the
blind:
14
And
thou
shalt
be
blessed;
for
they
cannot
recompense
thee:
for
thou
shalt
be
recompensed
at
the
resurrection
of
the
just.
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,
A
certain
man
made
a
great
supper,
and
bade
many:
17
And
sent
his
servant
at
supper
time
to
say
to
them
that
were
bidden,
Come;
for
all
things
are
now
ready.
18
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.
19
And
another
said,
I
have
bought
five
yoke
of
oxen,
and
I
go
to
prove
them:
I
pray
thee
have
me
excused.
20
And
another
said,
I
have
married
a
wife,
and
therefore
I
cannot
come.
21
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.
22
And
the
servant
said,
Lord,
it
is
done
as
thou
hast
commanded,
and
yet
there
is
room.
23
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.
24
For
I
say
unto
you,
That
none
of
those
men
which
were
bidden
shall
taste
of
my
supper.
25
And
there
went
great
multitudes
with
him:
and
he
turned,
and
said
unto
them,
26
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.
27
And
whosoever
doth
not
bear
his
cross,
and
come
after
me,
cannot
be
my
disciple.
28
For
which
of
you,
intending
to
build
a
tower,
sitteth
not
down
first,
and
counteth
the
cost,
whether
he
have
[sufficient]
to
finish
[it]?
29
Lest
haply,
after
he
hath
laid
the
foundation,
and
is
not
able
to
finish
[it],
all
that
behold
[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,
sitteth
not
down
first,
and
consulteth
whether
he
be
able
with
ten
thousand
to
meet
him
that
cometh
against
him
with
twenty
thousand?
32
Or
else,
while
the
other
is
yet
a
great
way
off,
he
sendeth
an
ambassage,
and
desireth
conditions
of
peace.
33
So
likewise,
whosoever
he
be
of
you
that
forsaketh
not
all
that
he
hath,
he
cannot
be
my
disciple.
34
Salt
[is]
good:
but
if
the
salt
have
lost
his
savour,
wherewith
shall
it
be
seasoned?
35
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.
