When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him. Mrk 3:2Luk 20:20Luk 6:7Pro 23:7Psa 41:6Psa 62:4Psa 64:5-61Co 9:19-22 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him. Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” Luk 6:9Mat 12:10Jhn 7:23Luk 13:14-16Mrk 3:4Luk 11:44-45Mat 12:2Mat 22:35
But they were silent. Mat 21:25-27Mat 22:46
He took him, and healed him, and let him go. He answered them, “Which of you, if your son 1 or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?” Luk 13:15Exo 23:4-5Mat 12:11-12Dan 4:24
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things. Luk 20:40Act 6:10Luk 13:17Luk 20:26Luk 21:15Mat 22:46
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, Php 2:3Luk 11:43Mat 23:6Luk 20:46Mrk 12:38-393Jn 1:9Act 8:18-19Ezk 17:2 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him, Pro 25:6-7 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. Pro 16:18Pro 11:2Pro 3:35Dan 4:30-34Est 6:6-12Ezk 28:2-10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. Pro 25:6-7Pro 15:33Isa 60:141Sa 15:17Rev 3:9 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Luk 18:14Mat 23:12Pro 29:23Jas 4:61Pe 5:5Psa 138:6Pro 18:12Jas 4:10
He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. Jas 2:1-6Mat 5:46Luk 6:32-36Pro 22:16Pro 14:20Mat 6:1-4Luk 1:53Zec 7:5-7 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; Luk 14:21Isa 58:10Isa 58:7Pro 14:31Job 29:15-16Heb 13:2Job 31:16-20Neh 8:10 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you.

“That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’ Luk 14:13Mat 11:5Jas 2:5Jhn 9:39Luk 14:24Mat 22:7-81Sa 2:8Heb 2:3
