Context of Luke 14:22
20And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come. 21And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind. And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room. 23And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled; 24for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
