1And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,
1And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.
2and lo, there was a certain dropsical man before him;
2And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.
3and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, `Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?'
3And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
4and they were silent, and having taken hold of <FI>him<Fi> , he healed him, and let <FI>him<Fi> go;
4But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.
5and answering them he said, `Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day?'
5And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?
6and they were not able to answer him again unto these things.
6And they were not able to answer him to these things.
7And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them,
7And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,
8`When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,
8When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,
9and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.
9and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.
10`But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee;
10But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;
11because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
11for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.
12And he said also to him who did call him, `When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee;
12And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.
13but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,
13But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:
14and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.'
14and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
15And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, `Happy <FI>is<Fi> he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;'
15And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom ofGod.
16and he said to him, `A certain man made a great supper, and called many,
16And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
17and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready.
17And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.
18`And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused.
18And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
19`And another said, Five yoke of oxen I bought, and I go on to prove them; I beg of thee, have me excused:
19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.
20and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I am not able to come.
20And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
21`And that servant having come, told to his lord these things, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly to the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in hither.
21And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.
22`And the servant said, Sir, it hath been done as thou didst command, and still there is room.
22And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.
23`And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;
23And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;
24for I say to you, that none of those men who have been called shall taste of my supper.'
24for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
25And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,
25And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,
26`If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;
26If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;
27and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.
27and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
28`For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expence, whether he have the things for completing?
28For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;
29lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,
29in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,
30saying--This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
30saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?
31`Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him?
31Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?
32and if not so--he being yet a long way off--having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace.
32and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.
33`So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.
33Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.
