Light Giver 14

1 And he became within the Coming of himself into a household of a certain one of the Rulers of the Separatists on a cessation to eat a bread-loaf. And they, themselves were those who are watching close beside himself.

hydrōpikos - pathological accumulation of water

2 And behold! he was a certain one, a hydropic one, in front of himself.
3 And he who has been separated, the Salvation, said toward the Law Experts and Separatists, he who is saying, "Is it permitted on the Cessation to treat or not?"
4 And the ones became still. And he who has seized hold healed himself and he set free.
5 And he said toward themselves "Whose son or ox of yourselves will fall into dug pit and he will not immediately draw himself up within a day the Cessation?

ἀνταποκρίνομαι - reciprocate, counter respond, correspond

6 And they were not strong enough to correspond toward these things.

Invited to the Wedding

7 And he was speaking a comparison toward the ones who have been summoned, he who is holding back on⁵⁴ how they kept choosing out the First Reclining Couches, he who is saying toward themselves,
8 "When you are summoned under a certain one into wedding feasts, do not do recline into the First Reclining Couch, lest ever a more honorable one than yourself should be him who has been summoned under himself.
9 And he who has come, the one who has summoned yourself and himself, he will say to yourself, Give a place to this one, and at that time you should begin in company with a disgrace to hold down the Last Place.
10 But when you are summoned, he who has led across, recline back into the Last Place so that when he should come, the one who has summoned yourself, he will say to yourself, Friend come up higher. At that time she will be for yourself a glory in the eye of all the ones who are reclining back together with yourself.
11 For everyone, the one who is lifting high his own self, will be humbled, and the one who is humbling his own self, he will be lifted high."

antikaleó - Anti-Summon

12 And he was saying to the one who has summoned himself, "When you make a breakfast or supper, do not crow to the Friends of yourself, nor the Brothers of yourself, nor the Kinsmen of yourself, nor rich earth-neighbors, lest ever they, themselves should also summon in turn yourself and should become a repayment to yourself.
13 But rather when you make a feast, summon cowering ones, maimed ones, limping ones, smoke-blind ones.
14 And you will be blessed because they are not holding to repay yourself, for it will be paid back to you within the Standing Up of the Just Ones."
15 And a certain one, he who has heard these things, of the ones who are reclining back together said to himself, "Blessed is anyone who will eat a bread loaf within the Queen of the God!"
16 And the one said to himself, "A certain man was making a mega supper, and he summoned multitudes.
17 And sent away the Slave of himself on the Hour of the Supper to speak to the ones who have been summoned, Come! because already now it is ready!
18 And everyone began away from one to beg excuse/avert. The First One said to himself, I have bought a field and I am holding a need, he who has come out to perceive himself. I am asking yourself, hold myself him who is excused.
19 And another one said, I bought five pairs of oxen, and I am leading across to prove these ones. I am asking yourself, hold myself him who is excused.
20 And another ones said, I have married a woman and because of this I am not able to come.
21 And he who has become close beside, the Slave announced to the Master of himself these things. At that time he who has become angry, the Head of the Household, said to the Slave of himself, Come out swiftly into the Broadways and rushings/streets of the City, and the Cowering Ones and Maimed Ones, and smoke-blind ones, and limping ones, bring in here!
22 And the Slave said, Master, what you mandated has become, and there is still a place.
23 And the Master said toward the Slave, Go out into the Road and fenced enclosures and force to enter so that the Household of myself may be loaded full.
24 For I am saying to yourselves that none of the Males, those ones, the ones who have been summoned, will taste the Supper of myself!"
25 And a multitudinous Multitude were journeying together with himself, and he who has been turned around said toward themselves,

πατέρα ἑαυτοῦ = Father of Own Self (Reflexive)

26 "If anyone is coming toward myself and is not hating the Father of his own self, and the Mother and the Woman and the Children and the Brothers and yet both the Sisters and the Soul Life of his own self, he has no power to be a learner of myself!

Come back!

27 Anyone who is not lifting up the Stake of his own self, and is coming back to myself, has no power to be a learner of myself!⁵⁵
28 For who from out of yourselves who is desiring to house-build a tower, is not first, he who has set down, calculating/counting up the Cost, whether he is holding into a completion?
29 So that, he who has laid of himself a foundation and who is not strong enough to bring to an end, all the ones who are watching attentively should not ever begin to mock himself.
30 Those who are saying that The Man, this one, began to house-build and he was not strong enough to finish.

συμβάλλω - throw together, join, unite

31 Or what king, he who is leading across to another king to join together into a war, he who has set down, will not first take counsel whether he is powerful within Ten Thousand to meet in company with Twenty Thousand the one who is coming against himself?⁵⁶
32 And if not, while he himself is still him who is existing far off away, he who has sent forth an ambassadorship is imploring for the things toward peace.
33 Thus therefore, everyone from out of yourselves, whosoever does not does bid farewell/renounce to all of the things at the disposal of his own self, has no power to be a learner of myself!

You are the Salt of the Earth

34 Therefore the Salt is good, but if the Salt also becomes foolish, within who will it be arranged/prepared?
35 Neither into an earth nor into a dung heap is it fitting. They are casting self outside! The one who is holding ears to hear, let him hear!"
