Luke 14
King James Version
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.
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 go;
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.

Ozdravljanje na šabat
14 Jednog je šabata Isus došao na objed k jednom od istaknutijih farizeja i svi su ga pomno promatrali. 2 Ispred njega je bio neki čovjek koji je patio od vodene bolesti. 3 Isus se obratio učiteljima Zakona i farizejima te ih upitao: »Je li po Zakonu izliječiti nekoga na šabat ili nije?« 4 Oni su šutjeli. A on je uzeo bolesnoga, izliječio ga i otpustio. 5 Zatim im je rekao: »Ako kome od vas sin ili vol padne u bunar, nećete li ga smjesta izvući, čak i na šabat?« 6 Na to nisu ništa mogli odgovoriti.
Ne uzvisuj se!
7 Zatim je gostima, vidjevši ih kako za sebe biraju počasna mjesta za stolom, ispričao usporedbu. Rekao je: 8 »Kada te tko pozove na svadbu, nemoj sjesti na počasno mjesto, jer je možda pozvan netko važniji od tebe! 9 Tada će ti prići onaj koji vas je obojicu pozvao i reći ti: ‘Ustupi svoje mjesto ovom čovjeku!’ Ti ćeš onda, posramljen, morati sjesti na posljednje mjesto. 10 Kada te pozovu, radije zauzmi posljednje mjesto pa će ti domaćin, kada dođe, reći: ‘Prijatelju, sjedni na bolje mjesto!’ Tako će ti biti iskazana čast pred svima koji budu sjedili za stolom. 11 Jer, svatko tko se uzvisuje, bit će ponižen, a onaj tko se ponizi, bit će uzvišen.« 12 Zatim je rekao onome koji ga je pozvao: »Kad priređuješ ručak ili večeru, nemoj pozvati svoje prijatelje, braću, rođake ili bogate susjede, da ti ne bi uzvratili pozivom i na taj te način nagradili. 13 Kad priređuješ gozbu, radije pozovi siromašne, invalide, hrome i slijepe. 14 Tako ćeš biti blagoslovljen. Oni ti ni sa čim neće moći uzvratiti, ali primit ćeš nagradu u vrijeme uskrsnuća pravednih.«
Gozba u Kraljevstvu
(Mt 22,1-10)
15 Kad je ovo čuo jedan od onih što su sjedili s njim za stolom, rekao je Isusu: »Blago onome tko bude jeo na gozbi u Božjem kraljevstvu!«
16 A Isus mu je rekao: »Neki je čovjek pripremao veliku večeru pa je pozvao mnogo ljudi. 17 Kad je došlo vrijeme da večera počne, poslao je svoga slugu da poruči uzvanicima: ‘Dođite, sve je spremno!’ 18 A oni su, svi odreda, počeli nalaziti isprike. Prvi mu je rekao: ‘Kupio sam njivu pa je moram otići vidjeti. Molim te, ispričaj me!’ 19 Drugi je rekao: ‘Kupio sam pet pari volova pa ih idem iskušati. Molim te, ispričaj me!’ 20 Jedan je pak rekao: ‘Oženio sam se pa ne mogu doći.’ 21 Kad se sluga vratio, prenio je sve svome gospodaru. On se na to razljutio i rekao slugi: ‘Izađi brzo na gradske ulice i u uličice te dovedi ovamo siromašne, invalide, slijepe i hrome!’ 22 Sluga je rekao: ‘Gospodaru, učinio sam što si zapovjedio, ali još uvijek ima mjesta.’ 23 A gospodar je rekao slugi: ‘Izađi na putove i duž ograda pa natjeraj ljude da dođu, da se moja kuća napuni! 24 Jer, kažem ti, ni jedan od onih koji su bili pozvani neće okusiti ništa od moje večere.’«
Potpuna predanost Isusu
(Mt 10,37-38)
25 Mnoštvo je naroda išlo za Isusom. On se okrenuo i rekao im: 26 »Ako tko dođe k meni, a ne voli me više nego što voli oca i majku, ženu i djecu, braću i sestre, pa čak i vlastiti život, taj ne može biti moj učenik. 27 Tko ne nosi svoj križ i ne ide za mnom, ne može biti moj učenik. 28 Ako tko od vas želi sagraditi kulu, neće li najprije sjesti i izračunati troškove da vidi ima li dovoljno da dovrši gradnju? 29 Inače, moglo bi se dogoditi da postavi temelje, a ne može dovršiti kulu. Tako će ga svi, koji to budu vidjeli, početi ismijavati i govoriti: 30 ‘Ovaj je počeo graditi, ali nije mogao dovršiti.’
31 Ako neki kralj odlazi u rat protiv drugoga kralja, neće li prvo sjesti i razmisliti može li se sa svojih deset tisuća ljudi suprotstaviti onome koji ide na njega s dvadeset tisuća ljudi? 32 Ako to ne može, poslat će izaslanike i pitati za uvjete mira još dok je njegov neprijatelj daleko. 33 Isto tako, dakle, nitko od vas tko se ne odrekne svega što posjeduje, ne može biti moj učenik.«
Sol svijetu
(Mt 5,13; Mk 9,50)
34 »Sol je dobra. Ali ako izgubi svoj okus, što će joj ga vratiti? 35 Nije više dobra ni za tlo ni za gnojivo, nego se baca.
Tko sluša, neka shvati!«
Luke 14
New King James Version
A Man with Dropsy Healed on the Sabbath
14 Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely. 2 And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, (A)“Is it lawful to heal on the [a]Sabbath?”
4 But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go. 5 Then He answered them, saying, (B)“Which of you, having a [b]donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?” 6 And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
Take the Lowly Place
7 So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: 8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 (C)But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. 11 (D)For whoever exalts himself will be [c]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite (E)the poor, the [d]maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be (F)blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
The Parable of the Great Supper(G)
15 Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, (H)“Blessed is he who shall eat [e]bread in the kingdom of God!”
16 (I)Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 and (J)sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ 18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ 20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. 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 here the poor and the [f]maimed and the lame and the blind.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ 23 Then the master said to 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 to you (K)that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’ ”
Leaving All to Follow Christ(L)
25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 (M)“If anyone comes to Me (N)and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, (O)yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And (P)whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For (Q)which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see 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, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you (R)does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
Tasteless Salt Is Worthless(S)
34 (T)“Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land nor for the [g]dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
