\subsection{Luke 14}
\subsubsection{Healing Again on the Sabbath}
\VS{1} And it came to pass when he entered into the house 
of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, 
and they were watching him closely. 
\VS{2} And behold [a] certain man was suffering from dropsy before him. 
\VS{3} And answering \Iesous spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees saying: 
Is it allowed on the Sabbath to heal or not? 
\VS{4} But they were silent. 
And having taken hold [of him] he healed him, and sent [him] away. 
\VS{5} And to them he said: Whose son%
\footnote{``son'' \papyrus{45,75}BW\koine{}; ``donkey'' \hesychian{}\sinaiticus{} \vulgate{}; 
``sheep'' D} 
or animal falls into [a] well, 
and you do not immediately pull him up on the day of the Sabbath? 
\VS{6} And they were not able to reply to these [things].

\subsubsection{On Seeking Seats of Honor} 
\VS{7} But he was saying to those invited [a] parable, 
noticing\footnote{or ``aiming at''} how they were choosing the first seats, 
saying to them: 
\VS{8} Whenever you be invited by someone to [a] wedding, 
do not lie back in the first seat, lest one more honored than you be invited by him, 
\VS{9} and coming the [one] having invited you and him will say to you: 
Give to him [your] place, 
and then you begin with disgrace to be occupying the last place. 
\VS{10} But whenever you be invited, 
having proceeded you lie back in the last place, 
in order that when he come the [one] having invited you will say to you: 
Friend\footnote{From PHILOS}, move up higher. 
Then it will be to you glory before all those reclining with you. 
\VS{11} For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, 
and the [one] humbling himself will be exalted. 
\VS{12} But he was also saying to 
the [one] having invited him: Whenever you do [a] lunch or [a] dinner, be not calling 
your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich friends or your 
brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you 
in return and it become recompense to you. 
\VS{13} But whenever you would do [a] banquet, be calling poor, crippled, lame, blind, 
\VS{14} and you will be blessed, because they do not have to repay you. 
For it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the just. 

\subsubsection{The Parable of the Great Banquet}
\VS{15} But when one of those laying back with him heard these [things] he said to him: 
Blessed is he who eats bread in the Kingdom of God. 
\VS{16} But he said to him: A certain man was doing [a] big dinner, and invited many. 
\VS{17} And he sent his slave in the hour of the dinner to say to those invited: 
Be coming, for already is it prepared. 
\VS{18} And they were beginning from one all to be excusing [themselves]. 
The first said to him, I bought [a] field, 
and I have necessity having gone to be seeing it; 
I ask you, Be having me excused. 
\VS{19} And another said: I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them; 
I ask you, Be having me excused. 
\VS{20} And another said: I married [a] wife, 
and because of this I am unable to come. 
\VS{21} And having arrived, the slave reported to his lord these [things]. 
Then having been angered the master of the house said to his slave: 
Go swiftly into the streets and alleys of the city, 
and bring here the poor and crippled and blind and lame. 
\VS{22} And the slave said: Lord, what you commanded is come to pass, and yet is there place. 
\VS{23} And the lord said to the slave: 
Go out into the roads and hedges and compel [them] to come in, 
that my house be filled. 
\VS{24} For I say to you that none of those men invited will taste my dinner.

\subsubsection{Counting the Cost}
\VS{25} But [a] great crowd was going with him, and turning he said to them: 
\VS{26} If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother 
and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yet even his own psyche-life\fnPsyche{}, 
is not able to be my disciple. 
\VS{27} Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me is not able to be my disciple. 
\VS{28} For who among you wishing to build [a] tower does not first having sat reckon the cost, 
if he has [enough] for completion\fnTelos{}? 
\VS{29} In order that when he having placed [the] foundation and not being able 
to complete\fnTelos{} [it] all those beholding begin to be mocking him, 
\VS{30} saying that: This man began to be building and was not able to complete\fnTelos{} [it]. 
\VS{31} Or what king when he proceeds to another king to engage in battle 
does not having sat first resolve if he is able in ten thousand to meet 
the [one] coming upon him with twenty thousand? 
\VS{32} But if not, while being afar off having sent [an] ambassador he asks the [terms] for peace. 
\VS{33} Likewise therefore everyone among you who does not take leave\fnApotasso{} 
of all his possessions is not able to be my disciple. 
\VS{34} Good therefore [is] the salt. But if the salt become tasteless, 
with what will it be seasoned? 
\VS{35} Neither for [the] ground\fnGe{} nor for the dung heap is it fit, 
they throw it out. 
The [one] having ears to be hearing, let\fnImperative{} him be hearing.
