¹ And ^G2532 it came to pass, ^G1096 as ^G1722 he ^G846 went ^G2064 into ^G1519 the house ^G3624 of one ^G5100 of the chief ^G758 Pharisees ^G5330 to eat ^G5315 bread ^G740 on the sabbath ^G4521 day, that ^G2532 they ^G846 watched ^{G2258 G3906} him. ^G846

² And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 there was ^G2258 a certain ^G5100 man ^G444 before ^G1715 him ^G846 which had the dropsy. ^G5203

³ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answering ^G611 spake ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the lawyers ^G3544 and ^G2532 Pharisees, ^G5330 saying, ^G3004 Is it ^G1487 lawful ^G1832 to heal ^G2323 on the sabbath day? ^G4521

⁴ And ^G1161 they held their peace. ^G2270 And ^G2532 he took ^G1949 him, and healed ^G2390 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 let him go; ^G630

⁵ And ^G2532 answered ^G611 them, ^{G4314 G846} saying, ^G2036 Which ^G5101 of you ^G5216 shall have an ass ^G3688 or ^G2228 an ox ^G1016 fallen ^G1706 into ^G1519 a pit, ^G5421 and ^G2532 will ^G385 not ^G3756 straightway ^G2112 pull ^G385 him ^G846 out ^G385 on ^G1722 the sabbath ^G4521 day? ^G2250

⁶ And ^G2532 they could ^G2480 not ^G3756 answer ^G470 him ^G846 again ^G470 to ^G4314 these things. ^G5023

⁷ And ^G1161 he put forth ^G3004 a parable ^G3850 to ^G4314 those which were bidden, ^G2564 when he marked ^G1907 how ^G4459 they chose out ^G1586 the chief rooms; ^G4411 saying ^G3004 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846

⁸ When ^G3752 thou art bidden ^G2564 of ^G5259 any ^G5100 man to ^G1519 a wedding, ^G1062 sit ^G2625 not ^G3361 down ^G2625 in ^G1519 the highest room; ^G4411 lest ^G3379 a more honourable man ^G1784 than thou ^G4675 be ^G5600 bidden ^G2564 of ^G5259 him; ^G846

⁹ And ^G2532 he that bade ^G2564 thee ^G4571 and ^G2532 him ^G846 come ^G2064 and say ^G2046 to thee, ^G4671 Give ^G1325 this man ^G5129 place; ^G5117 and ^{G2532 G5119} thou begin ^G756 with ^G3326 shame ^G152 to take ^G2722 the lowest ^G2078 room. ^G5117

¹⁰ But ^G235 when ^G3752 thou art bidden, ^G2564 go ^G4198 and sit down ^G377 in ^G1519 the lowest ^G2078 room; ^G5117 that ^G2443 when ^G3752 he that bade ^G2564 thee ^G4571 cometh, ^G2064 he may say ^G2036 unto thee, ^G4671 Friend, ^G5384 go up ^G4320 higher: ^G511 then ^G5119 shalt thou ^G4671 have ^G2071 worship ^G1391 in the presence ^G1799 of them that sit at meat ^G4873 with thee. ^G4671

¹¹ For ^G3754 whosoever ^G3956 exalteth ^G5312 himself ^G1438 shall be abased; ^G5013 and ^G2532 he that humbleth ^G5013 himself ^G1438 shall be exalted. ^G5312

¹² Then ^G1161 said he ^G3004 also ^G2532 to him that bade ^G2564 him, ^G846 When ^G3752 thou makest ^G4160 a dinner ^G712 or ^G2228 a supper, ^G1173 call ^G5455 not ^G3361 thy ^G4675 friends, ^G5384 nor ^G3366 thy ^G4675 brethren, ^G80 neither ^G3366 thy ^G4675 kinsmen, ^G4773 nor ^G3366 thy rich ^G4145 neighbours; ^G1069 lest ^G3379 they ^G846 also ^G2532 bid ^G479 thee ^G4571 again, ^G479 and ^G2532 a recompence ^G468 be made ^G1096 thee. ^G4671

¹³ But ^G235 when ^G3752 thou makest ^G4160 a feast, ^G1403 call ^G2564 the poor, ^G4434 the maimed, ^G376 the lame, ^G5560 the blind: ^G5185

¹⁴ And ^G2532 thou shalt be ^G2071 blessed; ^G3107 for ^G3754 they cannot ^{G3756 G2192} recompense ^G467 thee: ^G4671 for ^G1063 thou ^G4671 shalt be recompensed ^G467 at ^G1722 the resurrection ^G386 of the just. ^G1342

¹⁵ And ^G1161 when one ^G5100 of them that sat at meat with him ^G4873 heard ^G191 these things, ^G5023 he said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Blessed ^G3107 is he ^G3739 that shall eat ^G5315 bread ^G740 in ^G1722 the kingdom ^G932 of God. ^G2316

¹⁶ Then ^G1161 said he ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 A certain ^G5100 man ^G444 made ^G4160 a great ^G3173 supper, ^G1173 and ^G2532 bade ^G2564 many: ^G4183

¹⁷ And ^G2532 sent ^G649 his ^G846 servant ^G1401 at supper ^G1173 time ^G5610 to say ^G2036 to them that were bidden, ^G2564 Come; ^G2064 for ^G3754 all things ^G3956 are ^G2076 now ^G2235 ready. ^G2092

¹⁸ And ^G2532 they all ^G3956 with ^G575 one ^G3391 consent began ^G756 to make excuse. ^G3868 The first ^G4413 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 I have bought ^G59 a piece of ground, ^G68 and ^G2532 I must ^G2192 needs ^G318 go ^G1831 and ^G2532 see ^G1492 it: ^G846 I pray ^G2065 thee ^G4571 have ^G2192 me ^G3165 excused. ^G3868

¹⁹ And ^G2532 another ^G2087 said, ^G2036 I have bought ^G59 five ^G4002 yoke ^G2201 of oxen, ^G1016 and ^G2532 I go ^G4198 to prove ^G1381 them: ^G846 I pray ^G2065 thee ^G4571 have ^G2192 me ^G3165 excused. ^G3868

²⁰ And ^G2532 another ^G2087 said, ^G2036 I have married ^G1060 a wife, ^G1135 and ^G2532 therefore ^{G1223 G5124} I cannot ^{G3756 G1410} come. ^G2064

²¹ So ^G2532 that ^G1565 servant ^G1401 came, ^G3854 and shewed ^G518 his ^G846 lord ^G2962 these things. ^G5023 Then ^G5119 the master of the house ^G3617 being angry ^G3710 said ^G2036 to his ^G846 servant, ^G1401 Go out ^G1831 quickly ^G5030 into ^G1519 the streets ^G4113 and ^G2532 lanes ^G4505 of the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 bring in ^G1521 hither ^G5602 the poor, ^G4434 and ^G2532 the maimed, ^G376 and ^G2532 the halt, ^G5560 and ^G2532 the blind. ^G5185

²² And ^G2532 the servant ^G1401 said, ^G2036 Lord, ^G2962 it is done ^G1096 as ^G5613 thou hast commanded, ^G2004 and ^G2532 yet ^G2089 there is ^G2076 room. ^G5117

²³ And ^G2532 the lord ^G2962 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 the servant, ^G1401 Go out ^G1831 into ^G1519 the highways ^G3598 and ^G2532 hedges, ^G5418 and ^G2532 compel ^G315 them to come in, ^G1525 that ^G2443 my ^G3450 house ^G3624 may be filled. ^G1072

²⁴ For ^G1063 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 That ^G3754 none ^G3762 of those ^G1565 men ^G435 which ^G3588 were bidden ^G2564 shall taste ^G1089 of my ^G3450 supper. ^G1173

²⁵ And ^G1161 there went ^G4848 great ^G4183 multitudes ^G3793 with him: ^G846 and ^G2532 he turned, ^G4762 and said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 them, ^G846

²⁶ If any ^G1536 man come ^G2064 to ^G4314 me, ^G3165 and ^G2532 hate ^G3404 not ^G3756 his ^G1438 father, ^G3962 and ^G2532 mother, ^G3384 and ^G2532 wife, ^G1135 and ^G2532 children, ^G5043 and ^G2532 brethren, ^G80 and ^G2532 sisters, ^G79 yea, ^G2089 and ^G1161 his own ^G1438 life ^G5590 also, ^G2532 he cannot ^{G3756 G1410} be ^G1511 my ^G3450 disciple. ^G3101

²⁷ And ^G2532 whosoever ^G3748 doth ^G941 not ^G3756 bear ^G941 his ^G846 cross, ^G4716 and ^G2532 come ^G2064 after ^G3694 me, ^G3450 cannot ^{G3756 G1410} be ^G1511 my ^G3450 disciple. ^G3101

²⁸ For ^G1063 which ^G5101 of ^G1537 you, ^G5216 intending ^G2309 to build ^G3618 a tower, ^G4444 sitteth ^G2523 not ^G3780 down ^G2523 first, ^G4412 and counteth ^G5585 the cost, ^G1160 whether ^G1487 he have ^G2192 sufficient to ^G4314 finish ^G535 it?

²⁹ Lest ^G3363 haply, ^G3379 after he ^G846 hath laid ^G5087 the foundation, ^G2310 and ^G2532 is ^G2480 not ^G3361 able ^G2480 to finish ^G1615 it, all ^G3956 that behold ^G2334 it begin ^G756 to mock ^G1702 him, ^G846

³⁰ Saying, ^G3004 This ^{G3754 G3778} man ^G444 began ^G756 to build, ^G3618 and ^G2532 was ^G2480 not ^G3756 able ^G2480 to finish. ^G1615

³¹ Or ^G2228 what ^G5101 king, ^G935 going ^G4198 to make ^G4820 war ^G4171 against ^G1519 another ^G2087 king, ^G935 sitteth ^G2523 not ^G3780 down ^G2523 first, ^G4412 and consulteth ^G1011 whether ^G1487 he be ^G2076 able ^G1415 with ^G1722 ten ^G1176 thousand ^G5505 to meet ^G528 him that cometh ^G2064 against ^G1909 him ^G846 with ^G3326 twenty ^G1501 thousand? ^G5505

³² Or else, ^G1490 while the other ^G846 is ^G5607 yet ^G2089 a great way off, ^G4206 he sendeth ^G649 an ambassage, ^G4242 and desireth ^G2065 conditions ^G4314 of peace. ^G1515

³³ So ^G3779 likewise, ^G3767 whosoever ^G3956 he be of ^G1537 you ^G5216 that ^G3739 forsaketh ^G657 not ^G3756 all ^G3956 that he hath, ^{G5224 G1438} he cannot ^{G3756 G1410} be ^G1511 my ^G3450 disciple. ^G3101

³⁴ Salt ^G217 is good: ^G2570 but ^G1161 if ^G1437 the salt ^G217 have lost his savour, ^G3471 wherewith ^{G1722 G5101} shall it be seasoned? ^G741

³⁵ It is ^G2076 neither ^G3777 fit ^G2111 for ^G1519 the land, ^G1093 nor yet ^G3777 for ^G1519 the dunghill; ^G2874 but men cast ^G906 it ^G846 out. ^G1854 He that hath ^G2192 ears ^G3775 to hear, ^G191 let him hear. ^G191
