========================
Luke 14:1-14
========================
1One Sabbath, when Jesus went
to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.
2There in front of him was a
man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body.
3Jesus asked the Pharisees
and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
4But they remained silent. So
taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5Then he asked them, “If one
of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you
not immediately pull it out?”
6And they had nothing to say.
7When he noticed how the
guests picked the places of honor at the table, 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.
9If 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.
10But 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.
11For all those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12Then 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.
13But when you give a
banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14and you will be blessed.
Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the
righteous.”
