Luke 14:1,7-11
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.
He told a parable to those who had been invited,
noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet,
do not recline at table in the place of honor.
A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him,
and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say,
‘Give your place to this man,’
and then you would proceed with embarrassment
to take the lowest place.
Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place
so that when the host comes to you he may say,
‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’
Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Lucas 14:1,7-11
At nangyari na si Jesus ay pumunta sa bahay ng isa sa mga pinuno ng mga Fariseo upang kumain ng tinapay. Noon ay araw ng Sabat. Sa pagpunta niya roon, kanila siyang pinagmamatyagan.
Siya ay nagsabi ng talinghaga sa mga inanyayahan nang mapuna niyang pinipili nila ang mga pangunahing dako. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Kapag inanyayahan ka ninuman sa isang kasalan, huwag kang umupo sa pangunahing dako sapagkat baka may inanyayahan pa siyang higit na marangal kaysa sa iyo. Siya na nag-anyaya sa iyo at sa kaniya ay lalapit sa iyo. Sasabihin niya sa iyo: Paupuin mo ang taong ito sa kinauupuan mo. Pagkatapos, ikaw ay mapapahiyang kukuha ng kahuli-hulihang dako. Ngunit kapag ikaw ay inanyayahan, sa pagpunta mo ay maupo ka sa kahuli-hulihang dako. Ito ay upang sa paglapit ng nag-anyaya sa iyo, sasabihin niya: Kaibigan, pumunta ka sa higit na mataas. Pagkatapos, ang karangalan ay mapapasaiyo sa harap ng mga kasama mong nakadulog sa hapag. Ito ay sapagkat ang bawat isang nagtataas ng kaniyang sarili ay ibababa at siya na nagpapakumbaba ay itataas.

Our Gospel for Oct 29. Healing of the Man with Dropsy on the Sabbath.
Luke 14:1-6
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.
In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking,
“Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?”
But they kept silent; so he took the man and,
after he had healed him, dismissed him.
Then he said to them
“Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern,
would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?”
But they were unable to answer his question.

Si Jesus sa Bahay ng Isang Fariseo
Lucas 14:1-6
At nangyari na si Jesus ay pumunta sa bahay ng isa sa mga pinuno ng mga Fariseo upang kumain ng tinapay. Noon ay araw ng Sabat. Sa pagpunta niya roon, kanila siyang pinagmamatyagan. Narito, sa harap niya ay mayroong isang lalaking dumaranas ng pamamaga. Sumagot si Jesus. Sinabi niya sa mga dalubhasa sa kautusan at mga Fariseo: Naaayon ba sa kautusan ang magpagaling sa araw ng Sabat? Ngunit sila ay tahimik. At sa paghawak niya sa lalaki, pinagaling niya siya at pinaalis.
