CHAP. XIIII. / 2 Christ healeth the dropsie on the Sabbath: 7 teacheth humilitie: 12 to feast the poore: 15 Vnder the parable of the great supper, sheweth how worldly minded men, who contemne the word

1And it came to passe, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharises to eat bread on þe Sabbath day, that they watched him.Select Luke 14:1

2And behold, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.Select Luke 14:2

3And Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?Select Luke 14:3

4And they held their peace. And he tooke him, and healed him, & let him go,Select Luke 14:4

5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse or an oxe fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?Select Luke 14:5

6And they could not answere him againe to these things.Select Luke 14:6

7And he put foorth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roumes, saying vnto them,Select Luke 14:7

8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not downe in the highest roume: lest a more honourable man then thou be bidden of him,Select Luke 14:8

9And hee that bade thee and him, come, and say to thee, Giue this man place: and thou begin with shame to take the lowest roume.Select Luke 14:9

10But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roume, that when he that bade thee commeth, hee may say vnto thee, Friend, goe vp higher: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at meate with thee.Select Luke 14:10

11For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shalbe abased: and hee that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.Select Luke 14:11

12Then said hee also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.Select Luke 14:12

13But when thou makest a feast, call the poore, the maimed, the lame, the blinde,Select Luke 14:13

14And thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.Select Luke 14:14

15And when one of them that sate at meate with him, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is hee that shall eate bread in the kingdom of God.Select Luke 14:15

16Then said hee vnto him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many:Select Luke 14:16

17And sent his seruant at supper time, to say to them that were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready.Select Luke 14:17

18And they all with one consent began to make excuse: The first said vnto him, I haue bought a piece of ground, and I must needs goe and see it: I pray thee haue me excused.Select Luke 14:18

19And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to prooue them: I pray thee haue me excused.Select Luke 14:19

20And another said, I haue maried a wife: and therefore I cannot come.Select Luke 14:20

21So that seruant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, sayde to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.Select Luke 14:21

22And the seruant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roume.Select Luke 14:22

23And the Lord said vnto the seruant, Goe out into the high wayes and hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house may be filled.Select Luke 14:23

24For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.Select Luke 14:24

25And there went great multitudes with him: and hee turned, and said vnto them,Select Luke 14:25

26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his owne life also, hee cannot be my disciple.Select Luke 14:26

27And whosoeuer doeth not beare his crosse, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.Select Luke 14:27

28For which of you intending to build a towre, sitteth not downe first, and counteth the cost, whether he haue sufficient to finish it?Select Luke 14:28

29Lest haply after hee hath laide the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it, begin to mock him,Select Luke 14:29

30Saying, This man beganne to build, and was not able to finish.Select Luke 14:30

31Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not downe first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?Select Luke 14:31

32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.Select Luke 14:32

33So likewise, whosoeuer he be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.Select Luke 14:33

34Salt is good: but if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?Select Luke 14:34

35It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill: but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.Select Luke 14:35
