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!”

Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Masakiton nga Tawo
14 Isa sadto ka Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, gin-imbitar si Jesus sang isa ka manugdumala sang mga Pariseo nga magkaon sa iya balay. Pag-abot ni Jesus didto, ginbantayan siya sang mga tawo nga nagakontra sa iya kon bala lapason niya ang Kasuguan. 2 Karon, may tawo didto nga nagapalamanog ang bug-os niya nga lawas. 3 Nagpamangkot si Jesus sa mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan kag sa mga Pariseo, “Ginatugot bala sang aton Kasuguan nga magpang-ayo sang mga masakiton sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway ukon wala?” 4 Pero naghipos lang sila. Dayon ginkaptan ni Jesus ang tawo kag gin-ayo. Pagkatapos ginpalakat niya. 5 Kag nagsiling siya sa mga tawo didto, “Abi may bata kamo ukon baka nga mahulog sa bubon sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway. Ano, pabay-an lang bala ninyo tungod kay Adlaw nga Inugpahuway? Siyempre, kuhaon ninyo!” 6 Pero wala gid sing may nakasabat sa iya pamangkot.
Ang Pagpaubos kag ang Pagkamaabiabihon
7 Napanilagan ni Jesus nga ang mga tawo nga ginpang-imbitar nagapili sang mga pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Gani ginlaygayan niya sila, 8 “Kon imbitaron ka sa punsyon sang kasal, indi mo pagpilion ang pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Kay basi may gin-imbitar nga mas dungganon pa gid sang sa imo. 9 Kag ang nag-imbitar sa inyo nga duha magapalapit sa imo kag magsiling, ‘Abi halin ka anay dira, kay napreparar na ini nga pulungkuan sa sini nga tawo.’ Ti mahuy-an ka kag mapungko ka na lang sa pulungkuan nga para sa ordinaryo nga mga tawo. 10 Pero kon imbitaron ka, pilion mo ang pulungkuan nga para sa ordinaryo nga mga tawo, agod sa pag-abot sang nag-imbitar sa imo palapitan ka niya kag papungkuon sa pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Kundi mapadunggan ka pa sa atubangan sang tanan nga ginpang-imbitar. 11 Kay ang bisan sin-o nga nagapakataas sang iya kaugalingon paubuson, kag ang nagapaubos sang iya kaugalingon pataason.” 12 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa tawo nga nag-imbitar sa iya, “Kon mag-imbitar ka sang mga tawo nga magpanyaga ukon magpanyapon sa inyo, indi lang pag-imbitara ang imo mga amigo ukon ang imo mga utod ukon ang imo mga paryente ukon ang imo mga kaingod nga manggaranon, kay basi kon imbitaron ka man nila kag mabaton mo na ang imo balos. 13 Kon magpapunsyon ka, imbitaron mo man ang mga imol, ang mga pingkaw, ang mga piang, kag ang mga bulag. 14 Mangin bulahan ka tungod kay indi sila makabalos sa imo. Ang Dios amo ang magabalos sa imo sa pag-abot sang panahon sang pagkabanhaw sang mga matarong.”
Ang Paanggid Parte sa Punsyon(A)
15 Sang pagkabati sadto sang isa nga nakaupod kay Jesus sa pagkaon, nagsiling siya, “Bulahan atong mga tawo nga magakaon sa punsyon sa paghari sang Dios!” 16 Dayon gin-estoryahan siya ni Jesus, “May isa ka tawo nga nagpreparar sang dako nga punsyon, kag madamo ang iya ginpang-imbitar. 17 Pag-abot sang oras nga inugkaon na, ginsugo niya ang iya suluguon nga kadtuan ang mga ginpang-imbitar kag silingon, ‘Magkadto na kamo kay preparado na ang tanan!’ 18 Pero kada isa sa ila nagbalibad nga indi sila makakadto. Nagsiling ang isa, ‘Bag-o lang ako nakabakal sang duta kag kinahanglan nga kadtuan ko kag tan-awon. Gani pasensyaha lang anay ako.’ 19 Nagsiling pa gid ang isa, ‘Indi ako makakadto kay bag-o lang ako nakabakal sang napulo ka baka kag tilawan ko na kon bala maayo iarado. Gani pasensyaha lang anay ako.’ 20 Nagsiling pa gid ang isa, ‘Bag-o gid lang ako ginkasal, gani indi ako makakadto.’ 21 Pagkatapos nagbalik ang suluguon sa iya agalon kag ginsugiran niya siya kon ngaa indi sila makakadto. Pagkabati sang agalon naakig siya. Gani nagsiling siya sa iya suluguon, ‘Kadto didto sa mga karsada kag mga kalye sang aton banwa kag dal-a diri ang mga imol, mga pingkaw, mga bulag, kag mga piang.’ 22 Sang mahimo ato sang suluguon, nagsiling siya sa iya agalon, ‘Sir, natuman ko na ang imo sugo, pero may bakante pa gid sa kalan-an.’ 23 Gani nagsiling ang agalon sa iya, ‘Kadto didto sa mga dalan sa guwa sang banwa kag piliton mo ang mga tawo nga imo makita nga magkadto diri agod mapuno ang akon balay. 24 Sugiran ko kamo sang matuod, sa mga tawo nga akon gin-imbitar, wala gid sing may makatilaw sa ila sang akon ginpreparar nga pagkaon.’ ”
Ang Pagsunod sa Ginoo(B)
25 Sang nagapadayon si Jesus sa iya paglakat pakadto sa Jerusalem, madamo nga mga tawo ang nag-upod sa iya. Ginbalikid niya sila kag nagsiling, 26 “Kon may tawo nga luyag magsunod sa akon, pero mas palangga pa niya ang iya mga ginikanan, asawa, mga bata, mga utod, ukon ang iya kaugalingon sang sa akon, indi siya takos nga mangin akon sumulunod. 27 Ang bisan sin-o nga indi magsunod sa akon tungod kay nahadlok siya nga mapatay para sa akon[a] indi takos nga mangin akon sumulunod. 28 Ang tawo nga luyag magsunod sa akon pareho siya sang isa ka tawo nga nagaplano nga magpatindog sang mataas nga balay. Una, bantaon niya anay kon pila ang magasto niya kag kon bala makaigo ang iya kuwarta nga gastuhon hasta mahuman ini. 29 Kay kon indi niya ini paghimuon basi pundasyon pa lang ang iya maobra kag maubos na ang iya kuwarta kag indi na niya mahuman. Gani kadlawan gid siya sang mga tawo nga makakita. 30 Magasiling sila, ‘Nagsagi lang patindog sang balay nga indi man lang makapahuman.’ 31 Pareho man sa isa ka hari nga magapakig-away sa iban nga hari. Kinahanglan planohon niya anay kon bala ang iya mga soldado nga 10,000 makasarang magpakig-away sa hari nga may 20,000 ka soldado. 32 Kon banta niya nga indi siya makasarang, maayo pa nga samtang wala pa ang away magsugo siya sang pila sang iya mga tinawo sa pagsiling sa iya kontra nga hari nga luyag na lang niya nga magpakighusay. 33 Amo man ina ang dapat ninyo nga himuon. Binagbinagon ninyo anay ang inyo pagsunod sa akon, kay kon indi ninyo pagbayaan ang tanan nga inyo ginapasulabi diri sa kalibutan, indi man kamo takos nga mangin akon sumulunod.”
Ang Asin(C)
34 “Ang asin maayo, pero kon maglain ang iya sabor, wala na sing may mahimo agod mapabalik pa ang iya sabor. 35 Indi na mapuslan bisan ilakot pa sa mga higko agod iabuno, gani ginapilak na lang. Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ining inyo nabatian.”
Footnotes
- 14:27 nahadlok siya nga mapatay para sa akon: sa literal, indi siya magpas-an sang iya krus. Ang krus diri nagasimbolo sang kamatayon, kay isa sa mga paagi sa pagsilot sa mga kriminal sadto nga panahon amo ang kamatayon sa krus.

English Standard Version
Healing of a Man on the Sabbath
14 One Sabbath, (A)when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were (B)watching him carefully. 2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus responded to (C)the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, (D)“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 4 But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. 5 And he said to them, (E)“Which of you, having a son[a] or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” 6 (F)And they could not reply to these things.
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed (G)how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, (H)so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For (I)everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
The Parable of the Great Banquet
12 He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give (J)a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers[b] or your relatives or rich neighbors, (K)lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, (L)invite (M)the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid (N)at (O)the resurrection of the just.”
15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, (P)“Blessed is everyone who will (Q)eat bread in the kingdom of God!” 16 But he said to him, (R)“A man once (S)gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he (T)sent his servant[c] to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20 And another said, (U)‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in (V)the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I tell you,[d] (W)none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”
The Cost of Discipleship
25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 (X)“If anyone comes to me and (Y)does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, (Z)yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 (AA)Whoever does not (AB)bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not (AC)first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a 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 out to encounter another king in war, will not (AD)sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 (AE)So therefore, any one of you who (AF)does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
Salt Without Taste Is Worthless
34 (AG)“Salt is good, (AH)but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? 35 It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. (AI)He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
