Luke 14:1-14 — Jesus at a Pharisee's House

Luke.14.1-14

¹Now it happened, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat a meal, that they were watching him closely. ²And behold, there was a certain man in front of him who had dropsy . ³And Jesus answered and spoke to the experts in the law and the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” ⁴But they remained silent. And taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away. ⁵And he said to them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox falls into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?” ⁶And they were not able to reply to these things. ⁷Now he told a parable to those who had been invited, when he noticed how they were choosing the places of honor, saying to them, ⁸"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you has been invited by him, ⁹and the one who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. ¹⁰But when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will have honor in the presence of all who are reclining at the table with you. ¹¹For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted." ¹²He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you host a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment be made to you. ¹³But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, ¹⁴and you will be blessed, because they do not have the means to repay you ; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
