14:3 | And ![]() ![]() |
14:4 | And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him, and let him go; |
14:5 | 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 ![]() |
14:6 | And they could not ![]() |
14:7 | And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, |

14:11 | For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. |
14:12 | 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 recompense be made thee. |
14:13 | But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: |
14:14 | And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. |
14:15 | And when one of them that sat at ![]() ![]() |
14:16 | Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: |

14:21 | So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the ![]() |
14:22 | And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. |

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