(31)On that day there came certain Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and go hence; for Herod desires to kill thee. (32)And he said to them: Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected. (33)But yet, I must go to-day, and to-morrow, and the day following; because it may not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. (34)Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that kills the prophets, and stones those sent to her; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not! (35)Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And I say to you: Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. XIV. AND it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him. (2)And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy. (3)And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not? And they were silent. (4)And taking hold of him, he healed him, and let him go. (5)And to them he said: Who is there of you, whose ox or ass[14:5] shall fall into a pit, and he will not straightway draw him up on the sabbath day? (6)And they could not answer him again to these things. (7)And he spoke a parable to those who were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the first places; saying to them: (8)When thou art bidden by any one to a wedding, recline not in the first place at table, lest one more honorable than thou may have been bidden by him; (9)and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give place to this man; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. (10)But when thou art bidden, go and recline in the lowest place; that when he that bade thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have honor in the presence of those who recline at table with thee. (11)For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. (12)And he said also to him who bade him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. (13)But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. (14)And happy shalt thou be, because they can not recompense thee; for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the righteous.
