42:013:034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and
stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have
gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood
under her wings, and ye would not!
42:013:035 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say
unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye
shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
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.
