Luke 14:18-24

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.’ 20And another one said, ‘3I 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.’ 22And later the slave said, ‘Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23And the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the roads and the hedges and press upon them to come in, so that my house will be filled. 24For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my dinner.’”
