Luke Chapter 14
So, Jesus pulled up to this Pharisee's pad to munch on some bread during the Sabbath, and they were just peeping him with their sus vibes.
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.
Then, check this out, there was this dude with dropsy just hanging out in front of him.
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Jesus was like, "Is it chill to heal on the Sabbath?" aimed at the lawyers and Pharisees.
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
They went quiet. Jesus took the guy, healed him, and was like, "You’re all good, fam."
And they held their peace. And he took {him}, and healed him, and let him go;
He asked, "Which of you wouldn’t drag your donkey or ox out of a pit on the Sabbath? No cap."
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?
They were totally shook and had no comebacks for him, fr.
And they could not answer him again to these things.
Jesus dropped a parable for the guests, noticing how they were claiming the top spots, saying,
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
"When you're invited to a wedding, don’t snag the VIP seat; what if someone more important arrives?"
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;
"Then the host will say, 'Yo, move down,' and you’ll feel hella embarrassed."
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.
"For real, take the low-key seat; then when the host comes, he’ll be like, 'Yo, come up higher,' and you’ll be vibing with the crew."
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.
Those who think they’re all that will be humbled; but if you keep it low-key, you’ll level up.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
He told the guy who invited him, "When you throw a dinner, don’t just call your homies or fam; don’t expect them to return the favor."
Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor {thy} rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
But when you throw a feast, invite the poor, the broken, the lame, and the blind; that’s the real vibe check.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
You’ll be blessed for sure; they can’t repay you, but you’ll get your rewards when the good folks rise up.
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
One dude at the table caught this and said, "For real, blessed are those who get to eat in God’s kingdom."
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed {is} he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Then he shared this story: "A certain dude threw a big dinner and invited a ton of people."
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
He sent his servant at dinner time to tell those invited, "Yo, everything’s ready, come through!"
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
But everyone started making excuses. The first guy said, "I just bought some land, gotta check it out, no cap."
And they all with one {consent} began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Another said, "I just got five oxen, gotta test them out, please let me slide."
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
And another dude was like, "I just got married, so I can’t come."
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So the servant pulled up and told his boss what’s good. The master got mad and said, “Bet, go hit the streets and grab the poor, the broken, the lame, and the blind.”
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
The servant was like, “Aight, I did that, but we still got room, no cap.”
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
The lord told the servant, “Go out to the highways and hedges and make sure they pop off to my crib, so it’s lit.”
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel {them} to come in, that my house may be filled.
For real, I’m telling you, none of those who were invited are gonna vibe with my feast.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
A crowd was rolling with him, and he turned to them and said,
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
“If anyone wants to roll with me but isn’t ready to ditch their fam and even their own life, they can't be my ride or die.”
If any {man} come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
“And if you don’t carry your cross and follow me, you can’t be my homie.”
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
“Which one of you, trying to build a tower, doesn’t sit down first and check if you got enough coins to finish it?”
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have {sufficient} to finish {it}?
“Otherwise, once you lay the foundation and can’t finish, everyone’s gonna roast you.”
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish {it}, all that behold {it} begin to mock him,
“They’ll be like, ‘This dude started building but couldn’t even finish, sus.’”
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Like, what king goes into battle without checking if he can roll with ten thousand against twenty thousand? Major sus vibes.
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
If not, while the other squad is still far away, he sends some peeps to ask for peace. Straight up smart move.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
So, for real, if you ain't ready to drop everything you got, you can't roll with me as my disciple. No cap.
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Salt is lit, but if it loses its flavor, what’s the point? Like, fr, how do you season anything then?
Salt {is} good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
It ain't good for the land or the trash; people just toss it out. If you got ears, pay attention.
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; {but} men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
