Luke 14:13-21
13But whenever you give a 1banquet, invite people who are poor, who have disabilities, who are limping, and people who are blind; 14and you will be blessed, since they 2do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at 3the resurrection of the righteous.”
15Now when one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, “4Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” 16But He said to him, “5A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many; 17and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is ready now.’ 18And yet they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I purchased a field and I need to go out to look at it; 6please consider me excused.’ 19And another one said, ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; 7please consider me excused.’ 20And another one said, ‘8I took a woman as my wife, and for that reason I cannot come.’ 21And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here those who are poor, those with disabilities, those who are blind, and those who are limping.’
