| Luke 14:1 | 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. | And 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:2 | In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. | And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy. | And a certain man was there who had a disease. |
| Luke 14:3 | This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?" | And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? | And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not? |
| Luke 14:4 | They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away. | But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go. | But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away. |
| Luke 14:5 | 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?" | And 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? | 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? |
| Luke 14:6 | To this they could make no reply. | And they could not answer again unto these things. | And they had no answer to that question. |
| Luke 14:7 | Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them, | And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them, | 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, |
| Luke 14:8 | "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, | When 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, | 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, |
| Luke 14:9 | 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. | and 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:10 | 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. | But 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:11 | For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted. | For everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. | For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up. |
| Luke 14:12 | 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. | And 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:13 | But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; | But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: | But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body: |
| Luke 14:14 | 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." | and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just. | 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. |
| Luke 14:15 | After listening to this teaching, one of His fellow guests said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall feast in God's Kingdom." | 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. | And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God. |
| Luke 14:16 | "A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests. | But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many: | And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people. |
| Luke 14:17 | At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "`Come, for things are now ready.' | and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready. | And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready. |
| Luke 14:18 | "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.' | And 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:19 | "A second pleaded, "`I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am on my way to try them. Pray hold me excused.' | And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. | And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come. |
| Luke 14:20 | "Another said, "`I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.' | And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. | And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come. |
| Luke 14:21 | "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.' | And 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. | And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. 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. |
| Luke 14:22 | "Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "`Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.' | And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. | And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room. |
| Luke 14:23 | "`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. | And 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. | 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. |
| Luke 14:24 | For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'" | For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper. | For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast. |
| Luke 14:25 | On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said, | Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, | Now a great number of people went with him. |

| Luke 14:27 | No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine. | Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. | Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may not be my disciple. |

| Luke 14:29 | lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him, | Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, | For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him, |

| Luke 14:33 | Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine. | So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. | And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not be my disciple. |
