Chapter Fourteen And it came to pass,
as he went into the house of one of the

00:05.060 --> 00:08.780
chief Pharisees to eat bread on the
sabbath day, that they watched him.

00:09.360 --> 00:13.200
And, behold, there was a certain man
before him which had the dropsy.

00:13.800 --> 00:18.520
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers
and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to

00:18.520 --> 00:19.780
heal on the sabbath day?

00:20.000 --> 00:21.200
And they held their peace.

00:22.000 --> 00:27.080
And he took him, and healed him,
and let him go, and answered them,

00:27.180 --> 00:31.920
saying, Which of you shall have an ass or
an ox fallen into a pit, and will not

00:31.920 --> 00:34.100
straightway pull him out on the sabbath
day?

00:34.520 --> 00:36.660
And they could not answer him again to
these things.

00:37.520 --> 00:40.960
And he put forth a parable to those which
were bidden, when he marked how they chose

00:40.960 --> 00:45.880
out the chief rooms, saying unto them,
When thou art bidden of any man to a

00:45.880 --> 00:51.600
wedding, sit not down in the highest room,
lest a more honorable man than thou be

00:51.600 --> 00:52.300
bidden of him.

00:53.200 --> 00:58.960
And he that bade thee and him come and say
to thee, Give this man place, and thou

00:58.960 --> 01:00.900
begin with shame to take the lowest room.

01:01.960 --> 01:06.760
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down
in the lowest room, that when he that bade

01:06.760 --> 01:10.880
thee cometh, he may say unto thee,
Friend, go up higher.

01:11.820 --> 01:15.560
Then shalt thou have worship in the
presence of them that sit at meet with

01:15.560 --> 01:15.800
thee.

01:16.500 --> 01:22.800
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be
abased, and he that humbleth himself shall

01:22.800 --> 01:23.440
be exalted.

01:23.440 --> 01:27.940
Then said he also to him that bade him,
When thou makest a dinner or a supper,

01:28.680 --> 01:32.860
call not thy friends nor thy brethren,
neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich

01:32.860 --> 01:36.860
neighbors, lest they also bid thee again
and a recompense be made thee.

01:37.540 --> 01:43.940
But when thou makest a feast, call the
poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,

01:44.600 --> 01:46.220
and thou shalt be blessed.

01:46.880 --> 01:51.640
For they cannot recompense thee,
for thou shalt be recompensed at the

01:51.640 --> 01:52.980
resurrection of the just.

01:53.440 --> 01:57.420
And when one of them that sat at meet with
him heard these things, he said unto him,

01:57.540 --> 02:00.380
Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the
kingdom of God.

02:00.640 --> 02:05.820
Then said he unto him, A certain man made
a great supper, and bade many,

02:06.700 --> 02:10.880
and sent his servant at suppertime to say
to them that were bidden, Come,

02:11.040 --> 02:12.280
for all things are now ready.

02:13.240 --> 02:16.100
And they all with one consent began to
make excuse.

02:16.920 --> 02:21.300
The first said unto him, I have bought a
piece of ground, and I must needs go and

02:21.300 --> 02:21.720
see it.

02:21.720 --> 02:23.780
I pray thee, have me excused.

02:24.520 --> 02:29.460
And another said, I have bought five yoke
of oxen, and I go to prove them.

02:29.820 --> 02:31.520
I pray thee, have me excused.

02:32.080 --> 02:36.440
And another said, I have married a wife,
and therefore I cannot come.

02:37.420 --> 02:40.220
So that servant came and showed his lord
these things.

02:40.940 --> 02:45.860
Then the master of the house, being angry,
said to his servant, Go out quickly into

02:45.860 --> 02:49.260
the streets and lanes of the city,
and bring in hither the poor, and the

02:49.260 --> 02:51.380
maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

02:52.180 --> 02:57.140
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as
thou hast commanded, and yet there is

02:57.140 --> 02:57.440
room.

02:58.140 --> 03:02.020
And the lord said unto the servant,
Go out into the highways and hedges,

03:02.100 --> 03:05.420
and compel them to come in, that my house
may be filled.

03:06.260 --> 03:10.900
For I say unto you, that none of those men
which were bidden shall taste of my

03:10.900 --> 03:11.160
supper.

03:11.520 --> 03:15.380
And there went great multitudes with him,
and he turned and said unto them,

03:15.380 --> 03:19.940
If any man come to me, and hate not his
father, and mother, and wife, and

03:19.940 --> 03:25.620
children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be

03:25.620 --> 03:26.200
my disciple.

03:27.120 --> 03:32.140
And whosoever doth not bear his cross,
and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

03:33.280 --> 03:37.540
For which of you, intending to build a
tower, sitteth not down first,

03:37.580 --> 03:40.760
and counteth the cost, whether he have
sufficient to finish it?

03:41.540 --> 03:45.600
Lest haply, after he hath laid the
foundation, and is not able to finish it,

03:45.700 --> 03:50.240
all that behold it begin to mock him,
saying, This man began to build,

03:50.300 --> 03:51.360
and was not able to finish.

03:52.360 --> 03:57.960
Or what king, going to make war against
another king, sitteth not down first,

03:58.420 --> 04:02.560
and consulteth whether he be able with ten
thousand, to meet him that cometh against

04:02.560 --> 04:03.560
him with twenty thousand?

04:04.460 --> 04:09.040
Or else, while the other is yet a great
way off, he sendeth an ambassage,

04:09.040 --> 04:11.100
and desireth conditions of peace.

04:12.020 --> 04:16.820
So likewise, whosoever he be of you,
that forsaketh not all that he hath,

04:17.440 --> 04:19.120
he cannot be my disciple.

04:20.240 --> 04:25.180
Salt is good, but if the salt have lost
his savour, wherewith shall it be

04:25.180 --> 04:25.460
seasoned?

04:26.280 --> 04:31.340
It is neither fit for the land,
nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it

04:31.340 --> 04:31.580
out.

04:32.560 --> 04:35.780
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
