Luke 14

Jesus teaches on humility by urging guests to take the lowest place at banquets and hosts to invite the poor and crippled rather than the rich; he recounts the Parable of the Great Banquet, where the master compels the marginalized to enter the kingdom of God since the invited make excuses.[1][3] He emphasizes the cost of discipleship, warning that one must hate family and even life itself compared to love for him, and bear one's own cross, while illustrating with parables of tower-building and kingly warfare.
