1 And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of ye chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him. One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.
2 And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye. And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body.
3 And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye? And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
4 And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo: But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye? And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”
6 And they coulde not answer him agayne to that. And they could not reply to these things. And they had nothing to say.
7 He put forthe a similitude to ye gestes whe he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto the: Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable:
8 When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in ye hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.
9 and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume. and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place.
10 But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests.
11 For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethre nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the. He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.
13 But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14 and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men. and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God. When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
16 Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.
17 and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy. And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused. But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused. And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come. And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
21 And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde. So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
22 And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume. And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ “’Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’
23 And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled. And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
24 For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’” I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
25 Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them: Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:
26 If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
28 Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it? For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
29 lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,
30 sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende. saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt .xx thousand. Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace. And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.
33 So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple. So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
34 Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with? “Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
35 It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare. It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
