Luke 14 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Luk 14:1

Luk 14:1And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

Luk 14:2

Luk 14:2And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy.

Luk 14:3

Luk 14:3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?

Luk 14:4

Luk 14:4But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

Luk 14:5

Luk 14:5And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?

Luk 14:6

Luk 14:6And they could not answer again unto these things.

Parable of the Guests

Luk 14:7

Luk 14:7And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

Luk 14:8

Luk 14:8When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

Luk 14:9

Luk 14:9and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.

Luk 14:10

Luk 14:10But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

Luk 14:11

Luk 14:11For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Luk 14:12

Luk 14:12And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

Luk 14:13

Luk 14:13But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

Luk 14:14

Luk 14:14and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

Luk 14:15

Luk 14:15And 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.

Parable of the Dinner

Luk 14:16

Luk 14:16But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:

Luk 14:17

Luk 14:17and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

Luk 14:18

Luk 14:18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused.

Luk 14:19

Luk 14:19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused.

Luk 14:20

Luk 14:20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

Luk 14:21

Luk 14:21And the servant came, and told 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 maimed and blind and lame.

Luk 14:22

Luk 14:22And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.

Luk 14:23

Luk 14:23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Luk 14:24

Luk 14:24For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Discipleship Tested

(Mat 10:34–39 )

Luk 14:25

Luk 14:25Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,

Luk 14:26

Luk 14:26If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:27

Luk 14:27Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:28

Luk 14:28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?

Luk 14:29

Luk 14:29Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,

Luk 14:30

Luk 14:30saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Luk 14:31

Luk 14:31Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

Luk 14:32

Luk 14:32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.

Luk 14:33

Luk 14:33So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:34

Luk 14:34Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Luk 14:35

Luk 14:35It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
