\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 rules 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 beast falls into [a] well, and you do not straightway 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 lay 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 this [one] the 
place, and then you begin with disgrace to be occupying the last place. 
\VS{10} But whenever you be invited, having proceeded you lay back in the 
last place, in order that when he come the [one] having invited you will say to 
you: Friend, 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? 
\VS{29} In order that when he having placed [the] 
foundation and not being able to complete [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 [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.
