Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Luke 13
³⁵ 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.
Luke 14
¹ 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.
² And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
³ And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
⁴ And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
⁵ 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?
⁶ And they could not answer him again to these things.
⁷ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
⁸ 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;
⁹ 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.
¹⁰ 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.
