Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 13
³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!
³⁵ Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ’BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’"
Luke 14
¹ It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.
² And there in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.
³ And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?"
⁴ But they kept silent. And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away.
⁵ And He said to them, "Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"
⁶ And they could make no reply to this.
⁷ And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them,
⁸ "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him,
⁹ and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ’Give your place to this man,’ and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.
