3and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, `Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?`
4and they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], he healed him, and let [him] go;
5and answering them he said, `Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day?`
6and they were not able to answer him again unto these things.
7And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them,
8`When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,
9and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.
