42:014:001 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the
           chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they
           watched him.

42:014:002 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
           dropsy.

42:014:003 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
           saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

42:014:004 And they held their peace.  And he took him, and healed him,
           and let him go;

42:014:005 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or
           an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out
           on the sabbath day?

42:014:006 And they could not answer him again to these things.

42:014:007 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he
           marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

42:014:008 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in
           the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
           bidden of him;

42:014:009 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this
           man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

42:014:010 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room;
           that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee,
           Friend, go up higher:  then shalt thou have worship in the
           presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
           humbleth himself shall be exalted.

42:014:012 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a
           dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren,
           neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also
           bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

42:014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
           lame, the blind: 

42:014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: 
           for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

42:014:015 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.

42:014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and
           bade many: 

42:014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were
           bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

42:014:018 And they all with one consent began to make excuse.  The first
           said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must
           needs go and see it:  I pray thee have me excused.
