013:030 And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last." 013:031 Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you." 013:032 "Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "`See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.' 013:033 "Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. 013:034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come! 013:035 See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, `Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'" 014:001 One day--it was a Sabbath--He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him. 014:002 In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. 014:003 This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?" 014:004 They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away. 014:005 Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?" 014:006 To this they could make no reply. 014:007 Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them, 014:008 "When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked, 014:009 and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, `Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place. 014:010 On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, `My friend, come up higher.'
