Luke 14:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 On a Sabbath day, Jesus went to the home of a leading Pharisee to eat with him. The people there were all watching him very closely.
2 A man with a bad disease was there in front of him.
3 Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts in the law, "Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?"
4 But they would not answer his question. So he took the man and healed him. Then he sent the man away.
5 Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, "If your son or work animal falls into a well on the Sabbath day, you know you would pull him out immediately."
6 The Pharisees and teachers of the law could say nothing against what he said.
7 Then Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit. So he told this story:
8 "When someone invites you to a wedding, don't sit in the most important seat. They may have invited someone more important than you.
9 And if you are sitting in the most important seat, they will come to you and say, 'Give this man your seat!' Then you will have to move down to the last place and be embarrassed.
10 "So when someone invites you, go sit in the seat that is not important. Then they will come to you and say, 'Friend, move up here to this better place!' What an honor this will be for you in front of all the other guests.
11 Everyone who makes themselves important will be made humble. But everyone who makes themselves humble will be made important."
12 Then Jesus said to the Pharisee who had invited him, "When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite only your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. At another time they will pay you back by inviting you to eat with them.
13 Instead, when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, and the blind.
14 Then you will have great blessings, because these people cannot pay you back. They have nothing. But God will reward you at the time when all godly people rise from death."
15 One of the men sitting at the table with Jesus heard these things. The man said to him, "What a great blessing it will be for anyone to eat a meal in God's kingdom!"
16 Jesus said to him, "A man gave a big dinner. He invited many people.
17 When it was time to eat, he sent his servant to tell the guests, 'Come. The food is ready.'
18 But all the guests said they could not come. Each one made an excuse. The first one said, 'I have just bought a field, so I must go look at it. Please excuse me.'
19 Another man said, 'I have just bought five pairs of work animals; I must go and try them out. Please excuse me.'
20 A third man said, 'I just got married; I can't come.'
21 "So the servant returned and told his master what happened. The master was angry. He said, 'Hurry! Go into the streets and alleys of the town. Bring me the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'
22 "Later, the servant said to him, 'Master, I did what you told me to do, but we still have places for more people.'
23 The master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and country roads. Tell the people there to come. I want my house to be full!
24 None of those people I invited first will get to eat any of this food.'"
25 Many people were traveling with Jesus. He said to them,
26 "If you come to me but will not leave your family, you cannot be my follower. You must love me more than your father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters�even more than your own life!
27 Whoever will not carry the cross that is given to them when they follow me cannot be my follower.
28 "If you wanted to build a building, you would first sit down and decide how much it would cost. You must see if you have enough money to finish the job.
29 If you don't do that, you might begin the work, but you would not be able to finish. And if you could not finish it, everyone would laugh at you.
30 They would say, 'This man began to build, but he was not able to finish.'
31 "If a king is going to fight against another king, first he will sit down and plan. If he has only 10,000 men, he will try to decide if he is able to defeat the other king who has 20,000 men.
32 If he thinks he cannot defeat the other king, he will send some men to ask for peace while that king's army is still far away.
33 "It is the same for each of you. You must leave everything you have to follow me. If not, you cannot be my follower.
34 "Salt is a good thing. But if the salt loses its salty taste, you can't make it salty again.
35 It is worth nothing. You can't even use it as dirt or dung. People just throw it away. "You people who hear me, listen!"
1 And G2532 it came to pass, G1096 as he G846 went G2064 into G1519 the house G3624 of one G5100 of the G3588 chief G758 Pharisees G5330 to eat G5315 bread G740 on the sabbath day, G4521 that G2532 they G846 watched G2258 G3906 him. G846
2 And G2532 , behold, G2400 there was G2258 a certain G5100 man G444 before G1715 him G846 which had the dropsy. G5203
3 And G2532 Jesus G2424 answering G611 spake G2036 unto G4314 the G3588 lawyers G3544 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 saying G3004 G1487 , Is it lawful G1832 to heal G2323 on the G3588 sabbath day G4521 ?
4 And G1161 they G3588 held their peace. G2270 And G2532 he took G1949 him, and healed G2390 him, G846 and G2532 let him go; G630
5 And G2532 answered G611 them, G846 saying, G2036 Which G5101 of you G5216 shall have an ass G3688 or G2228 an ox G1016 fallen G1706 into G1519 a pit, G5421 and G2532 will not G3756 straightway G2112 pull him out G385 G846 on G1722 the G3588 sabbath G4521 day G2250 ?
6 And G2532 they could G2480 not G3756 answer him again G470 G846 to G4314 these things. G5023
7 And G1161 he put forth G3004 a parable G3850 to G4314 those which were bidden, G2564 when he marked G1907 how G4459 they chose out G1586 the G3588 chief rooms; G4411 saying G3004 unto G4314 them, G846
8 When G3752 thou art bidden G2564 of G5259 any G5100 man to G1519 a wedding, G1062 sit not down G2625 G3361 in G1519 the G3588 highest room; G4411 lest G3379 a more honorable man G1784 than thou G4675 be G5600 bidden G2564 of G5259 him; G846
9 And G2532 he that bade G2564 thee G4571 and G2532 him G846 come G2064 and say G2046 to thee, G4671 Give G1325 this man G5129 place; G5117 and G2532 thou G5119 begin G756 with G3326 shame G152 to take G2722 the G3588 lowest G2078 room. G5117
10 But G235 when G3752 thou art bidden, G2564 go G4198 and sit down G377 in G1519 the G3588 lowest G2078 room; G5117 that G2443 when G3752 he bade G2564 thee G4571 cometh, G2064 he may say G2036 unto thee, G4671 Friend, G5384 go up G4320 higher: G511 then G5119 shalt thou G4671 have G2071 worship G1391 in the presence G1799 of them that sit at meat with G4873 thee. G4671
11 For G3754 whosoever G3956 exalteth G5312 himself G1438 shall be abased; G5013 and G2532 he that humbleth G5013 himself G1438 shall be exalted. G5312
12 Then G1161 said G3004 he also G2532 to him that bade G2564 him, G846 When G3752 thou makest G4160 a dinner G712 or G2228 a supper, G1173 call G5455 not G3361 thy G4675 friends, G5384 nor G3366 thy G4675 brethren, G80 neither G3366 thy G4675 kinsmen, G4773 nor G3366 thy rich G4145 neighbors; G1069 lest G3379 they G846 also G2532 bid thee again G479 G4571 , and G2532 a recompense G468 be made G1096 thee. G4671
13 But G235 when G3752 thou makest G4160 a feast, G1403 call G2564 the poor, G4434 the maimed, G376 the lame, G5560 the blind: G5185
14 And G2532 thou shalt be G2071 blessed; G3107 for G3754 they cannot G2192 G3756 recompense G467 thee: G4671 for G1063 thou G4671 shalt be recompensed G467 at G1722 the G3588 resurrection G386 of the G3588 just. G1342
15 And G1161 when one G5100 of them that sat at meat with G4873 him heard G191 these things, G5023 he said G2036 unto him, G846 Blessed G3107 is he G3739 that shall eat G5315 bread G740 in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God. G2316
16 Then G1161 said G2036 he G3588 unto him, G846 A certain G5100 man G444 made G4160 a great G3173 supper, G1173 and G2532 bade G2564 many: G4183
17 And G2532 sent G649 his G848 servant G1401 at supper G1173 time G5610 to say G2036 to them that were bidden, G2564 Come; G2064 for G3754 all things G3956 are G2076 now G2235 ready. G2092
18 And G2532 they all G3956 with G575 one G3391 consent began G756 to make excuse. G3868 The G3588 first G4413 said G2036 unto him, G846 I have bought G59 a piece of ground, G68 and G2532 I must G2192 needs G318 go G1831 and G2532 see G1492 it: G846 I pray G2065 thee G4571 have G2192 me G3165 excused. G3868
19 And G2532 another G2087 said, G2036 I have bought G59 five G4002 yoke G2201 of oxen, G1016 and G2532 I go G4198 to prove G1381 them: G846 I pray G2065 thee G4571 have G2192 me G3165 excused. G3868
20 And G2532 another G2087 said, G2036 I have married G1060 a wife, G1135 and G2532 therefore G1223 G5124 I cannot G1410 G3756 come. G2064
21 So G2532 that G1565 servant G1401 came, G3854 and showed G518 his G848 lord G2962 these things. G5023 Then G5119 the G3588 master of the house G3617 being angry G3710 said G2036 to his G848 servant, G1401 Go out G1831 quickly G5030 into G1519 the G3588 streets G4113 and G2532 lanes G4505 of the G3588 city, G4172 and G2532 bring in G1521 hither G5602 the G3588 poor, G4434 and G2532 the maimed, G376 and G2532 the halt, G5560 and G2532 the blind. G5185
22 And G2532 the G3588 servant G1401 said, G2036 Lord, G2962 it is done G1096 as G5613 thou hast commanded, G2004 and G2532 yet G2089 there is G2076 room. G5117
23 And G2532 the G3588 lord G2962 said G2036 unto G4314 the G3588 servant, G1401 Go out G1831 into G1519 the G3588 highways G3598 and G2532 hedges, G5418 and G2532 compel G315 them to come in, G1525 that G2443 my G3450 house G3624 may be filled. G1072
24 For G1063 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 That G3754 none G3762 of those G1565 men G435 which were bidden G2564 shall taste G1089 of my G3450 supper. G1173
25 And G1161 there went great multitudes with G4848 G4183 G3793 him: G846 and G2532 he turned, G4762 and said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846
26 If any G1536 man come G2064 to G4314 me, G3165 and G2532 hate G3404 not G3756 his G1438 father, G3962 and G2532 mother, G3384 and G2532 wife, G1135 and G2532 children, G5043 and G2532 brethren, G80 and G2532 sisters, G79 yea, G2089 and G1161 his own G1438 life G5590 also, G2532 he cannot G1410 G3756 be G1511 my G3450 disciple. G3101
27 And G2532 whosoever G3748 doth not G3756 bear G941 his G848 cross, G4716 and G2532 come G2064 after G3694 me, G3450 cannot G1410 G3756 be G1511 my G3450 disciple. G3101
28 For G1063 which G5101 of G1537 you, G5216 intending G2309 to build G3618 a tower, G4444 sitteth not down G2523 G3780 first, G4412 and counteth G5585 the G3588 cost, G1160 whether G1487 he have G2192 sufficient to finish G4314 G535 it ?
29 Lest haply, G3379 after G2443 he G846 hath laid G5087 the foundation, G2310 and G2532 is not able G2480 G3361 to finish G1615 it, all G3956 that behold G2334 it begin G756 to mock G1702 him, G846
30 Saying, G3004 This G3778 man G444 began G756 to build, G3618 and G2532 was not able G2480 G3756 to finish. G1615
31 Or G2228 what G5101 king, G935 going G4198 to make war G4820 G1519 G4171 against another G2087 king, G935 sitteth not down G2523 G3780 first, G4412 and G2532 consulteth G1011 whether G1487 he be G2076 able G1415 with G1722 ten G1176 thousand G5505 to meet G528 him that cometh G2064 against G1909 him G846 with G3326 twenty G1501 thousand G5505 ?
32 Or else, G1490 while the other G846 is G5607 yet G2089 a great way off, G4206 he sendeth G649 ambassadors, G4242 and desireth G2065 conditions G3588 of G4314 peace. G1515
33 So G3767 likewise, G3779 whosoever G3956 he be of G1537 you G5216 that G3739 forsaketh G657 not G3756 all G3956 that he hath G5224 G1438 , he cannot G1410 G3756 be G1511 my G3450 disciple. G3101
34 Salt G217 is good: G2570 but G1161 if G1437 the G3588 salt G217 have lost his savor, G3471 wherewith G1722 G5101 shall it be seasoned G741 ?
35 It is G2076 neither G3777 fit G2111 for G1519 the land, G1093 nor yet G3777 for G1519 the dunghill; G2874 but men cast G906 it G846 out. G1854 He that hath G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191
