Người Phù Thũng Được Chữa Lành
14 Một ngày Sa-bát nọ, Đức Giê-su đến dự tiệc[a] tại nhà người lãnh đạo Pha-ri-si. Người ta đều chăm chú theo dõi Ngài. 2 Trước mặt Ngài, có người mắc bệnh phù thũng. 3 Đức Giê-su hỏi[b] các giáo sư Kinh Luật và các người Pha-ri-si: “Trong ngày Sa-bát, có được phép chữa bệnh không?” 4 Nhưng họ đều im lặng. Rồi Ngài đỡ lấy người bệnh, chữa lành rồi cho về.
5 Ngài bảo họ: “Có ai trong các ông có con trai hay con bò ngã xuống giếng trong ngày Sa-bát, mà lại không lập tức kéo nó lên hay sao?” 6 Họ không thể nào biện bác được.
Khiêm Nhường
7 Nhận thấy các khách được mời đều chọn những ghế danh dự, Ngài kể một ngụ ngôn: 8 “Khi có ai mời ngươi dự tiệc cưới, đừng ngồi ghế danh dự, e rằng còn có người khách khác đáng trọng hơn mình. 9 Chủ tiệc sẽ đến bảo: ‘Xin nhường chỗ cho vị này!’ và ngươi phải xấu hổ xuống ngồi ghế dưới cuối cùng. 10 Nhưng khi ngươi được mời hãy ngồi ghế dưới cùng, chủ tiệc sẽ đến nói: ‘Bạn ơi, mời bạn lên ghế cao hơn,’ như thế ngươi sẽ được vinh dự trước mặt toàn thể quan khách. 11 Vì hễ ai tự tôn cao sẽ bị hạ xuống; ai hạ mình xuống sẽ được tôn cao.”
Nên Mời Ai?
12 Chúa cũng nói với chủ tiệc đã mời Ngài: “Khi ông đãi ăn trưa hay ăn tối, đừng mời bạn hữu, anh em, bà con hay những người láng giềng giàu có, kẻo họ cũng mời lại ông thì ông được đền ơn.[c] 13 Nhưng khi đãi tiệc, hãy mời những người nghèo khổ, bại liệt, què quặt, mù lòa, 14 thì sẽ được phước vì họ không thể nào mời lại để đền ơn ông, còn ông sẽ được đền ơn trong ngày người công chính sống lại.”
Bữa Tiệc Lớn(A)
15 Nghe vậy, một người khách trong bữa tiệc thưa với Ngài: “Phước cho ai được ăn tiệc trong Nước Đức Chúa Trời.”
16 Ngài đáp: “Một người kia dọn tiệc lớn và mời nhiều khách. 17 Đến giờ khai tiệc, chủ tiệc sai đầy tớ nhắc khách đã được mời: ‘Mời quý vị đến, tiệc đã sẵn sàng!’
18 Nhưng tất cả nhất loạt từ khước. Người thứ nhất đáp: ‘Tôi mới mua một đám ruộng, tôi buộc phải đi xem, ngài vui lòng cho tôi xin kiếu!’
19 Người khác nói: ‘Tôi mới mua năm cặp bò, tôi đang đi thử sức chúng, cho tôi xin kiếu!’
20 Người khác nữa lại nói: ‘Tôi mới cưới vợ, nên tôi không thể nào đến được!’
21 Đầy tớ về trình với chủ. Chủ nhà nổi giận, ra lệnh cho nó: ‘Ngươi hãy đi nhanh ra các phố, các hẻm trong thành phố, mời những người nghèo khổ, bại liệt, mù lòa, què quặt về đây!’
22 Rồi đầy tớ thưa: ‘Điều chủ bảo con đã làm xong, nhưng vẫn còn dư chỗ!’
23 Chủ lại bảo đầy tớ: ‘Ngươi hãy đi ra các đường và các ngõ bên bờ rào ép mời người vào đầy nhà ta! 24 Ta bảo thật, các khách đã được mời trước kia, không một kẻ nào được nếm bữa tiệc của ta!’ ”
25 Có đoàn dân đông cùng đi với Ngài, Ngài quay lại bảo họ: 26 “Nếu ai đến theo[d] Ta mà không ghét cha mẹ, vợ con, anh chị em và chính mạng sống mình, thì không thể nào làm môn đệ Ta. 27 Ai không vác thập tự giá mình mà theo Ta cũng không thể nào làm môn đệ Ta!”
28 “Ai trong các ngươi muốn xây một ngôi tháp mà không ngồi xuống tính toán chi phí trước, xem mình có đủ tiền để hoàn thành hay không? 29 Nếu không, khi đổ nền xong, nhưng không đủ sức hoàn tất, ai nấy thấy vậy đều chế nhạo rằng: 30 ‘Anh chàng này khởi công xây cất mà không hoàn tất nổi!’
31 Có ông vua nào đi giao chiến với một vua khác, mà trước hết không ngồi xuống tính toán xem thử với mười ngàn quân có chống nổi với vua kia đang đem hai mươi ngàn quân tấn công hay không? 32 Nếu không, khi địch[e] còn ở xa, phải cử một phái đoàn đi cầu hòa. 33 Cũng thế, nếu ai trong các ngươi không từ bỏ tất cả những gì mình có thì không thể nào làm môn đệ Ta.
34 Muối là vật tốt, nhưng nếu muối mất mặn, thì sẽ lấy gì làm cho muối ấy mặn lại được? 35 Muối ấy cũng không thể dùng để bón đất hay trộn phân, phải đem vứt bỏ ra ngoài. Ai có tai để nghe, hãy lắng nghe!”

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.

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!”

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) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 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) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: 8 “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. 9 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)
