在安息日醫治脹病

14 安息日,耶穌到一個法利賽人的首領家裡去吃飯,他們就窺探他。 在他面前有一個患水臌的人。 耶穌對律法師和法利賽人說:「安息日治病可以不可以?」 他們卻不言語。耶穌就治好那人,叫他走了。 便對他們說:「你們中間誰有驢或有牛在安息日掉在井裡,不立時拉牠上來呢?」 他們不能對答這話。

教訓為客的

耶穌見所請的客揀擇首位,就用比喻對他們說: 「你被人請去赴婚姻的筵席,不要坐在首位上,恐怕有比你尊貴的客被他請來, 那請你們的人前來對你說:『讓座給這一位吧!』你就羞羞慚慚地退到末位上去了。 10 你被請的時候,就去坐在末位上,好叫那請你的人來對你說:『朋友,請上坐!』那時,你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。 11 因為凡自高的,必降為卑;自卑的,必升為高。」

教訓為主的

12 耶穌又對請他的人說:「你擺設午飯或晚飯,不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親屬和富足的鄰舍,恐怕他們也請你,你就得了報答。 13 你擺設筵席,倒要請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的,你就有福了! 14 因為他們沒有什麼可報答你。到義人復活的時候,你要得著報答。」

藐視救恩

15 同席的有一人聽見這話,就對耶穌說:「在神國裡吃飯的有福了!」 16 耶穌對他說:「有一人擺設大筵席,請了許多客。 17 到了坐席的時候,打發僕人去對所請的人說:『請來吧,樣樣都齊備了。』 18 眾人一口同音地推辭。頭一個說:『我買了一塊地,必須去看看。請你准我辭了。』 19 又有一個說:『我買了五對牛,要去試一試。請你准我辭了。』 20 又有一個說:『我才娶了妻,所以不能去。』 21 那僕人回來,把這事都告訴了主人。家主就動怒,對僕人說:『快出去到城裡大街小巷,領那貧窮的、殘廢的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的來。』 22 僕人說:『主啊,你所吩咐的已經辦了,還有空座。』 23 主人對僕人說:『你出去到路上和籬笆那裡,勉強人進來,坐滿我的屋子。 24 我告訴你們:先前所請的人,沒有一個得嘗我的筵席!』」

當背十架跟從主

25 有極多的人和耶穌同行。他轉過來對他們說: 26 「人到我這裡來,若不愛我勝過愛[a]自己的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姐妹和自己的性命,就不能做我的門徒。 27 凡不背著自己十字架跟從我的,也不能做我的門徒。 28 你們哪一個要蓋一座樓,不先坐下算計花費,能蓋成不能呢? 29 恐怕安了地基,不能成功,看見的人都笑話他, 30 說:『這個人開了工,卻不能完工!』 31 或是一個王出去和別的王打仗,豈不先坐下酌量,能用一萬兵去敵那領二萬兵來攻打他的嗎? 32 若是不能,就趁敵人還遠的時候,派使者去求和息的條款。 33 這樣,你們無論什麼人,若不撇下一切所有的,就不能做我的門徒。 34 鹽本是好的,鹽若失了味,可用什麼叫它再鹹呢? 35 或用在田裡,或堆在糞裡,都不合適,只好丟在外面。有耳可聽的,就應當聽!」

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(A)

14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(B) he was being carefully watched.(C) There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(F) And they had nothing to say.

When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(H)

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(I) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(J)

The Parable of the Great Banquet(K)

15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(L) in the kingdom of God.”(M)

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’

21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(N)

22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’

23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(O)

The Cost of Being a Disciple

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(P) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(Q)

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(R)

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(S) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(T)

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(U)

  1. Luke 14:5 Some manuscripts donkey

14 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.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

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?

And they could not answer him again to these things.

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

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;

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.
