Luke 14:7 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he was saying (elegen) [a] parable (parabolēn) to (pros) the ones (tous) having been called aloud (keklēmenous), lingering over (epechōn) how (pōs) they were causing themselves to call out (exelegonto) for the (tas) first recliners (prōtoklisias), he saying (legōn) to (pros) them (autous),

Luke 14:18 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) from (apo) one (mias) they all (pantes) caused themselves to start (ērxanto) to request for themselves to be pardoned (paraiteisthai).

I inquire (erōtō) of you (se), have (eche) me (me) [as, AE] having requested for myself to be pardoned (parētēmenon).

 

Luke 14:19 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) one of another kind (heteros) enunciated (eipen), ‘I went to market to buy (ēgorasa) five (pente) pairs (zeugē) of bovines (boōn), and (kai) I cause myself to go (poreuomai) to prove (dokimasai) them (auta).

 

I inquire (erōtō) of you (se), have (eche) me (me) [as, AE] having requested for myself to be pardoned (parētēmenon).’

 

Luke 14:20 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) one of another kind (heteros) enunciated (eipen), ‘I married (egēma) [a] female (gunaika), and (kai) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of this (touto) I can absolutely not inherently power myself (ou dunamai) to come (elthein)!’

(For who was to receive the collections, the gracious abundant sharings, like the collections from the believers in the area of Corinth, see what Christ Jesus and the apostles taught and preached, Mat. 19:20-21, 26:6-13; Mark 10:20-21, 14:3-9; Luke 4:18-19, *14:12-14, 21-22, 18:22, 19:8; John 12:3-8, 13:28-29; Acts 2:44-47; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 13:3, 16:1-2; 2 Cor. 6:10, 8:9, 9:9; Gal. 2:10. )

Luke 14:24 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) absolutely not one (oudeis) of the (tōn) males (andrōn) of those (ekeinōn), of the (tōn) [males, RE] having been called aloud (keklēmenōn), shall cause himself to taste (geusetai) of the (tou) dinner (deipnou) of me (mou)!’

 

(Those men which were called aloud to the dinner of the Lord were the sons of Israel, according to the flesh-based paternity of Abraham (1 Cor. 10:18-21), but not according to the spirit-based paternity of God, which spirit-based paternity are all those who believe the evangelism of Christ Jesus and become his one body, the ekklesia, the household of the God, which is the new Israel (Rom. 9:6-8). These are those who follow Abraham’s example of belief. This is how all Israel (spirit-based Israel) shall be saved (Rom. 11:26), but yet those ones who were called aloud (flesh-based Israel) shall absolutely not taste of the Lord’s supper. Jesus reminded the sons of Israel according to the flesh, that they refuse to hear the Word of his heavenly Father (John 5:37-38), the God, as was prophesied (1 Cor. 14:21).   

 

Luke 14:25 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) many (polloi) crowds (ochloi) were causing themselves to go together with (suneporeuonto) him (autō)

 

And (kai) he having been turned (strapheis), he enunciated (eipen) to (pros) them (autous),

 

Luke 14:26 (LIT/UBS4) “If (ei) anyone (tis) causes himself to come (erchetai) to (pros) me (me) and (kai) absolutely does not (ou) despise (misei) the (ton) father (patera) of himself (heautou), and (kai) the (ten) mother (mētera), and (kai) the (ten) female (gunaika), and (kai) the (ta) ones born (tekna), and (kai) the (tous) brothers (adelphous), and (kai) the (tas) sisters (adelphas), and (te) yet still (eti) the (tēn) soul (psuchen) of himself (heauton) also (kai), he can absolutely not inherently power himself (ou dunatai) to be (einai) [a] disciple (mathētēs) of me (mou)!

 

Luke 14:27 (LIT/UBS4) Anyone who (hostis) absolutely does not carry (ou bastazei) the (ton) stake (stauron) of him (autou) and (kai) cause himself to come (erchetai) behind (opisō) me (mou), he can absolutely not inherently power himself (ou dunatai) to be (einai) [a] disciple (mathētēs) of me (mou)!

 

Luke 14:28 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) who (tis) out (ex) of you (humōn), desiring (thelōn) to build [a] domed-roof house3618 (oikodomēsai) tower (purgon), having sat down (kathisas) absolutely does not (ouchi) first (prōton) count in pebbles (psēphizei) the (tēn) cost (dapanēn), [to see, AE] if (ei) he has (echei) [enough, AE] from this time (apartismon) into (eis) [completing it, AE];

 

Luke 14:29 (LIT/UBS4) in order that (hina) at no time (mēpote), having placed (thentos) [the] foundation (themelion) of him (autou) and (kai) not (mē) being strong enough (ischuontos) to complete it out (ektelesai), all (pantes) the ones (hoi) observing (theōrountes) may cause themselves to start (arxōntai) to put him into [a] child’s role (empaizein autō),

 

Luke 14:30 (LIT/UBS4) saying (legontes) that (hoti), ‘This one (houtos), the (ho) mortal (anthrōpos), caused himself to start (ērxato) to build [a] domed-roof house3618 (oikodomein), and (kai) he was absolutely not strong enough (ouk ischusen) to complete it out (ektelesai)!?’

 

Luke 14:31 (LIT/UBS4) Or (ē) what (tis) king (basileus) causing himself to go (poreuomenos) to another (heterō) king (basilei) to throw together (sumbalein) into (eis) [a] war (polemon), having sat down (kathisas), shall he absolutely not cause himself to plan (ouchi bouleusetai) first (prōton) if (ei) he is (estin) inherently powered (dunatos), in (en) ten (deka) thousands (chiliasin), to meet (hupantēsai) the (tō) [king, RE] being caused to come (erchomenō) upon (ep’) him (auton) with (meta) twenty (eikosi) thousands (chiliadōn)!?

 

Luke 14:32 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) if (ei) not (mē), even (ge) of him (autou) yet (eti) being (ontos) distant (porrō), he having sent (aposteilas) [a] senior representative (presbeian), he inquires (erōta) of the (ta) [king, v31, RE] toward (pros) peace (eirēnēn)!

 

Luke 14:33 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), thusly (houtōs) everyone (pas) out (ex) of you (humōn) who (hos) absolutely does not cause himself to say farewell away from (ouk apotassetai) all (pasin) things being under control (huparchousin) of himself (heautou), he can absolutely not inherently power himself (ou dunatai) to be (einai) [a] disciple (mathētēs) of me (mou)!

 

Luke 14:34 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), the (to) salt (halas) [is] beautiful (kalon). 

 

But (de) if perhaps (ean) the (to) salt (halas) may be made moronic (mōranthē) also (kai), in (en) to what (tini) shall it be prepared (artuthēsetai)?

 

Luke 14:35 (LIT/UBS4) And absolutely neither (oute) into (eis) soil (gēn) and absolutely nor (oute) into (eis) mulch (koprian) is it (estin) well placed (eutheton);

 

they throw (ballousin) it (auto) outside (exō)!

 

The one (ho) having (echōn) ears (ōta) to hear (akouein), hear (akouetō)!”
