| Luke 14:1 | And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him. | And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him. | One day it was a Sabbath He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him. |
| Luke 14:2 | And a certain man was there who had a disease. | And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy. | In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. |
| Luke 14:3 | And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not? | And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? | This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?" |
| Luke 14:4 | But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away. | But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away. | They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away. |
| Luke 14:5 | And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath? | And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day? | Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?" |
| Luke 14:6 | And they had no answer to that question. | And they could not answer him to these things. | To this they could make no reply. |
| Luke 14:7 | And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying to them, | And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: | Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them, |
| Luke 14:8 | When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming, | When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him: | "When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked, |
| Luke 14:9 | And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat. | And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. | and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, `Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place. |
| Luke 14:10 | But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there. | But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee. | On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, `My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests. |
| Luke 14:11 | For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up. | Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted. | For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted. |
| Luke 14:12 | And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward. | And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee. | Also to His host, who had invited Him, He said, "When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbours, lest perhaps they should invite you in return and a requital be made you. |
| Luke 14:13 | But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body: | But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind; | But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; |
| Luke 14:14 | And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead. | And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just. | and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous." |

| Luke 14:16 | And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people. | But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. | "A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests. |

| Luke 14:18 | And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come. | And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused. | "But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "`I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.' |

Pray hold me excused.' |
| Luke 14:20 | And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come. | And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. | "Another said, "`I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.' |

Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body. | And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. 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 feeble, and the blind, and the lame. | "So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger. "`Go out quickly,' he said, `into the streets of the city the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.' |
| Luke 14:22 | And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room. | And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. | "Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "`Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.' |
| Luke 14:23 | And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full. | And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. | "`Go out,' replied the master, `to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled. |
| Luke 14:24 | For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast. | But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper. | For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'" |
