"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.

14:2  And a certain man was there who had a disease.

14:3  And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

14:4  But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

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?

14:6  And they had no answer to that question.

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,

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

14:13  But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

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."
