Luke 14:1-6

Kingdom Humility, Banquet Mercy, and the Cost of Discipleship

Jesus exposes religious hardness at a Sabbath meal, teaches humility and mercy through banquet instruction, warns that invited guests may refuse God’s kingdom, and demands costly allegiance from all who would follow him.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6And they were unable to answer these questions.
