14 Jésus étant entré, un jour de sabbat, dans la maison de l'un des chefs des pharisiens, pour prendre un repas, les pharisiens l'observaient.

Et voici, un homme hydropique était devant lui.

Jésus prit la parole, et dit aux docteurs de la loi et aux pharisiens: Est-il permis, ou non, de faire une guérison le jour du sabbat?

Ils gardèrent le silence. Alors Jésus avança la main sur cet homme, le guérit, et le renvoya.

Puis il leur dit: Lequel de vous, si son fils ou son boeuf tombe dans un puits, ne l'en retirera pas aussitôt, le jour du sabbat?

Et ils ne purent rien répondre à cela.

Il adressa ensuite une parabole aux conviés, en voyant qu'ils choisissaient les premières places; et il leur dit:

Lorsque tu seras invité par quelqu'un à des noces, ne te mets pas à la première place, de peur qu'il n'y ait parmi les invités une personne plus considérable que toi,

et que celui qui vous a invités l'un et l'autre ne vienne te dire: Cède la place à cette personne-là. Tu aurais alors la honte d'aller occuper la dernière place.

10 Mais, lorsque tu seras invité, va te mettre à la dernière place, afin que, quand celui qui t'a invité viendra, il te dise: Mon ami, monte plus haut. Alors cela te fera honneur devant tous ceux qui seront à table avec toi.

11 Car quiconque s'élève sera abaissé, et quiconque s'abaisse sera élevé.

12 Il dit aussi à celui qui l'avait invité: Lorsque tu donnes à dîner ou à souper, n'invite pas tes amis, ni tes frères, ni tes parents, ni des voisins riches, de peur qu'ils ne t'invitent à leur tour et qu'on ne te rende la pareille.

13 Mais, lorsque tu donnes un festin, invite des pauvres, des estropiés, des boiteux, des aveugles.

14 Et tu seras heureux de ce qu'ils ne peuvent pas te rendre la pareille; car elle te sera rendue à la résurrection des justes.

15 Un de ceux qui étaient à table, après avoir entendu ces paroles, dit à Jésus: Heureux celui qui prendra son repas dans le royaume de Dieu!

16 Et Jésus lui répondit: Un homme donna un grand souper, et il invita beaucoup de gens.

17 A l'heure du souper, il envoya son serviteur dire aux conviés: Venez, car tout est déjà prêt.

18 Mais tous unanimement se mirent à s'excuser. Le premier lui dit: J'ai acheté un champ, et je suis obligé d'aller le voir; excuse-moi, je te prie.

19 Un autre dit: J'ai acheté cinq paires de boeufs, et je vais les essayer; excuse-moi, je te prie.

20 Un autre dit: Je viens de me marier, et c'est pourquoi je ne puis aller.

21 Le serviteur, de retour, rapporta ces choses à son maître. Alors le maître de la maison irrité dit à son serviteur: Va promptement dans les places et dans les rues de la ville, et amène ici les pauvres, les estropiés, les aveugles et les boiteux.

22 Le serviteur dit: Maître, ce que tu as ordonné a été fait, et il y a encore de la place.

23 Et le maître dit au serviteur: Va dans les chemins et le long des haies, et ceux que tu trouveras, contrains-les d'entrer, afin que ma maison soit remplie.

24 Car, je vous le dis, aucun de ces hommes qui avaient été invités ne goûtera de mon souper.

25 De grandes foules faisaient route avec Jésus. Il se retourna, et leur dit:

26 Si quelqu'un vient à moi, et s'il ne hait pas son père, sa mère, sa femme, ses enfants, ses frères, et ses soeurs, et même à sa propre vie, il ne peut être mon disciple.

27 Et quiconque ne porte pas sa croix, et ne me suis pas, ne peut être mon disciple.

28 Car, lequel de vous, s'il veut bâtir une tour, ne s'assied d'abord pour calculer la dépense et voir s'il a de quoi la terminer,

29 de peur qu'après avoir posé les fondements, il ne puisse l'achever, et que tous ceux qui le verront ne se mettent à le railler,

30 en disant: Cet homme a commencé à bâtir, et il n'a pu achever?

31 Ou quel roi, s'il va faire la guerre à un autre roi, ne s'assied d'abord pour examiner s'il peut, avec dix mille hommes, marcher à la rencontre de celui qui vient l'attaquer avec vingt mille?

32 S'il ne le peut, tandis que cet autre roi est encore loin, il lui envoie une ambassade pour demander la paix.

33 Ainsi donc, quiconque d'entre vous ne renonce pas à tout ce qu'il possède ne peut être mon disciple.

34 Le sel est une bonne chose; mais si le sel perd sa saveur, avec quoi l'assaisonnera-t-on?

35 Il n'est bon ni pour la terre, ni pour le fumier; on le jette dehors. Que celui qui a des oreilles pour entendre entende.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Lalaking Minamanas

14 Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, inanyayahan si Jesus na kumain sa bahay ng isang pinuno ng mga Pariseo. Minamanmanan siyang mabuti ng mga taong kumokontra sa kanya. Doon ay may isang lalaking minamanas. Tinanong ni Jesus ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo, “Ipinapahintulot ba ng Kautusan ang magpagaling ng may sakit sa Araw ng Pamamahinga o hindi?” Pero hindi sila sumagot. Kaya hinawakan ni Jesus ang may sakit, pinagaling at saka pinauwi. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kung mahulog ang anak o baka ninyo sa isang balon sa Araw ng Pamamahinga, pababayaan nʼyo na lang ba ito? Siyempre, iaahon nʼyo agad, hindi ba?” Hindi sila nakasagot sa tanong niya.

Matutong Magpakababa

Napansin ni Jesus na ang mga bisita sa handaan ay nag-uunahan sa mga upuang pandangal, kaya pinangaralan niya ang mga ito, “Kapag inimbita ka sa isang kasalan, huwag mong pipiliin ang upuang pandangal, dahil baka may inimbitang mas marangal pa kaysa sa iyo. At lalapitan ka ng nag-imbita sa iyo at sasabihin niya, ‘Ibigay mo sa taong ito ang upuan mo.’ Kaya mapapahiya ka at uupo na lang sa upuan ng mga karaniwang tao. 10 Ang dapat mong gawin kapag naimbitahan ka ay piliin ang upuan para sa mga karaniwang tao, para pagdating ng nag-imbita sa iyo, sasabihin niya, ‘Kaibigan, doon ka maupo sa upuang pandangal.’ Sa ganoon ay mapaparangalan ka sa harap ng lahat ng panauhin. 11 Sapagkat ang nagpapakataas ng kanyang sarili ay ibababa, at ang nagpapakababa ay itataas.” 12 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa nag-imbita sa kanya, “Kung maghahanda ka, huwag lang ang mga kaibigan, kapatid, kamag-anak, at mayayamang kapitbahay ang imbitahin mo, dahil baka imbitahin ka rin nila, at sa ganooʼy nasuklian ka na sa ginawa mo. 13 Kaya kung maghahanda ka, imbitahin mo rin ang mga mahihirap, mga lumpo, mga pilay at mga bulag. 14 Sa ganoon ay pagpapalain ka, dahil kahit hindi ka nila masusuklian, ang Dios ang magsusukli sa iyo sa araw ng muling pagkabuhay ng mga matuwid.”

Ang Talinghaga tungkol sa Malaking Handaan(A)

15 Nang marinig iyon ng isa sa mga nakaupo sa may mesa, sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Mapalad ang taong makakasalo sa handaan sa kaharian ng Dios!” 16 Kinuwentuhan siya ni Jesus ng ganito, “May isang taong naghanda ng isang malaking pagdiriwang, at marami ang inimbita niya. 17 Nang handa na ang lahat, inutusan niya ang mga alipin niya na sunduin ang mga inimbita at sabihin sa kanila, ‘Tayo na, handa na ang lahat.’ 18 Pero nagdahilan ang bawat naimbitahan. Sinabi ng isa, ‘Pasensya na. Nakabili ako ng lupa at kailangang puntahan ko at tingnan.’ 19 Sabi naman ng isa, ‘Nakabili ako ng sampung baka, at susubukan ko kung mabuting ipang-araro. Pasensya na.’ 20 At sinabi naman ng isa pa, ‘Bagong kasal ako, kaya hindi ako makakadalo.’ 21 Kaya umuwi ang alipin, at ibinalita ang lahat sa amo niya. Nagalit ang amo at nag-utos ulit sa alipin niya, ‘Sige, pumunta ka sa mga kalsada at mga eskinita ng bayan at dalhin mo rito ang mga mahihirap, mga lumpo, mga bulag at mga pilay.’ 22 Nang natupad iyon ng alipin, bumalik siya sa amo niya at sinabi, ‘Nagawa ko na po ang iniutos ninyo, pero maluwag pa.’ 23 Kaya sinabi ng amo niya, ‘Pumunta ka sa mga kalsada at mga daan sa labas ng bayan at pilitin mong pumarito ang mga tao para mapuno ng panauhin ang bahay ko. 24 Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, ni isa man sa mga una kong inimbita ay hindi makakatikim ng handa ko.’ ”

Ang Pagsunod sa Panginoon(B)

25 Maraming tao ang sumunod kay Jesus sa paglalakbay niya papuntang Jerusalem. Lumingon siya at sinabi sa kanila, 26 “Ang sinumang nais sumunod sa akin, pero mas mahalaga sa kanya ang kanyang ama at ina, asawa at mga anak, mga kapatid at maging ang kanyang sarili ay hindi maaaring maging tagasunod ko. 27 Ang sinumang ayaw sumunod sa akin dahil natatakot siyang mamatay para sa akin[a] ay hindi maaaring maging tagasunod ko. 28 Ang sinumang gustong sumunod sa akin ay katulad ng isang tao na nagbabalak magtayo ng isang tore. Una, iisipin muna niya kung magkano ang magagastos niya sa pagpapatayo at kung may sapat siyang perang gagastusin hanggang sa matapos ito. 29 Sapagkat kung hindi niya ito gagawin, baka hanggang pundasyon lang ang maipagawa niya at hindi na maipatapos. Kaya pagtatawanan siya ng makakakita nito. 30 Sasabihin nila, ‘Nagpatayo ng bahay ang taong ito pero hindi nakayang ipatapos.’ 31 Katulad din ng isang hari na gustong makipagdigma sa kanyang kapwa hari. Dapat isipin muna niya kung makakayanan ng 10,000 sundalo niya ang 20,000 sundalo ng kanyang kaaway. 32 At kung sa palagay niyaʼy hindi niya kaya, magpapadala na lang siya ng mga sugo para makipagkasundo bago dumating ang kanyang kaaway. 33 Ganyan din ang gawin ninyo. Isipin muna ninyong mabuti ang pagsunod sa akin, dahil kung hindi ninyo magagawang talikuran ang lahat ng nasa inyo ay hindi kayo maaaring maging tagasunod ko.”

Ang Aral Mula sa Asin(C)

34 “Mabuti ang asin, pero kung mag-iba ang lasa,[b] wala nang magagawa para maibalik ang lasa nito. 35 Wala na itong pakinabang kahit ihalo sa dumi para maging pataba sa lupa, kaya itinatapon na lang ito ng mga tao. Kayong mga nakikinig, dapat ninyo itong unawain!”

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.
