Luke, 14

10. Whenever you are invited, go rather to the lowest seat, so that your host may come and say to you: 'Friend, you must come up higher.' And this will be a great honor for you in the presence of all the other guests.

Versets liés à Luke, 14:

Luke chapter 14 begins with Jesus healing a man on a Saturday and arguing with the Pharisees about what was allowed to do on this day. Then he tells a parable about a man who gives a big banquet and invites many people, but many of them make apologies and don't attend. Jesus teaches about humility and generosity, and concludes with the demands and the cost of following Him.

Matthew 22:2-3: "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet to his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet, but they refused to go." This verse is similar to the parable told by Jesus in Luke 14, where a man gives a great feast and invites many people, but many of them make apologies and do not attend.

Proverbs 25:6-7: "Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, nor claim a place among the great; it is better for being invited: 'Come up loud,' than to be demoted in the presence of the prince." This verse is related to the teaching of Jesus about humility in the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14, where he states that "all that exalts will be humiliated, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Luke 14:11: "For all who exalts himself will be humiliated, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." This verse summarizes Jesus' teaching about humility in Luke 14, where he teaches that those who exalt themselves will be humiliated and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Luke 14:27: "And who does not carry his cross and does not follow me, cannot be my disciple." This verse is related to Jesus' teaching about the cost of following Him in Luke 14, where he states that if anyone wants to follow him, he must be willing to carry his own cross.

Matthew 10:38: "He who does not take his cross and does not follow me, is not worthy of me." This verse is also related to Jesus' teaching about the cost of following Him in Luke 14, where he states that if anyone wants to follow him, he must be willing to take his own cross.





“O Senhor sempre orienta e chama; mas não se quer segui-lo e responder-lhe, pois só se vê os próprios interesses. Às vezes, pelo fato de se ouvir sempre a Sua voz, ninguém mais se apercebe dela; mas o Senhor ilumina e chama. São os homens que se colocam na posição de não conseguir mais escutar.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
