  Luke   chapter 14

   1 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.
   2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him
  which had the dropsy.
   3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and
  Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
  sabbath day?
   4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and
  healed him, and let him go;
   5 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?
   6 And they could not answer him again to these
  things.
   7 And he put forth a parable to those which were
  bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief
  rooms; saying unto them,
   8 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;
   9 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.

...to Luke chapter 15
