14And it happened that when he came to the house of a certain one of the leaders of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat a meal,^a they were watching him closely. ²And behold, a certain man was in front of him, suffering from edema. ³And Jesus answered and^* said to the legal experts and Pharisees, saying, “Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” ⁴But they remained silent. And he took hold of him^* and^* healed him, and sent him^* away. ⁵And he said to them, “Who among you, if your^* son or your ox falls into a well^b on the day of the Sabbath, will not immediately pull him out?” ⁶And they were not able to make a reply to these things.

The Parable of the Guests at the Wedding Feast

⁷Now he told a parable to those who had been invited when he^* noticed how they were choosing for themselves the places of honor, saying to them, ⁸“When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast,^c do not recline at the table in the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you has been invited by him, ⁹and the one who invited you both^d will come and^* say to you, ‘Give the place to this person,’ and then with shame you will begin to take the last place.
