Luke 14:17-19

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; 1please consider me excused.’

19And another one said, ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; 2please consider me excused.’
