Luke 14:12-24

12NowG1161 He alsoG2532 went on to sayG3004 to the one who had invitedG2564 Him, “WheneverG3752 you giveG4160 a luncheonG712 orG2228 a dinnerG1173, do not inviteG5455 your friendsG5384, your brothersG80, your relativesG4773, norG3366 wealthyG4145 neighborsG1069, otherwiseG3379 they may alsoG2532 inviteG479 you to a meal inG479 returnG479, and that will be your 1repaymentG468. 13But wheneverG3752 you giveG4160 a 2banquetG1403, inviteG2564 peopleG4434 who are poorG4434, who haveG374 disabilitiesG374, who are limpingG5560, and peopleG5185 whoG5185 areG5185 blindG5185; 14and you will be blessedG3107, sinceG3754 they 3do not haveG2192 the means to repayG467 you; for you will be repaidG467 at 4the resurrectionG386 of the righteousG1342.”

15NowG1161 when oneG5100 of thoseG3588 who were recliningG4873 at the table with Him heardG191 thisG3778, he saidG3004 to Him, “5BlessedG3107 is everyoneG3748 whoG3748 will eatG2068 breadG740 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316!” 16But He saidG3004 to him, “6A manG444 was givingG4160 a bigG3173 dinnerG1173, and he invitedG2564 manyG4183; 17and at the dinnerG1173 hourG5610 he sentG649 his slaveG1401 to tellG3004 thoseG3588 who had been invitedG2564, ‘ComeG2064, becauseG3754 everything is readyG2092 nowG2235.’ 18And yet they allG3956 alikeG575G1520 beganG757 to makeG3868 excusesG3868. The firstG4413 oneG4413 saidG3004 to him, ‘I purchasedG59 a fieldG68 and I needG318 to goG1831 outG1831 to lookG3708 at it; 7pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’ 19And anotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘I boughtG59 fiveG4002 yokeG2201 of oxenG1016, and I am goingG4198 to tryG1381 them outG1381; 8pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’ 20And anotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘9I tookG1060 a womanG1135 as my wifeG1060, and for that reasonG1223 I cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.’ 21And the slaveG1401 cameG3854 back and reportedG518 thisG3778 to his masterG2962. ThenG5119 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 householdG3617 becameG3710 angryG3710 and saidG3004 to his slaveG1401, ‘GoG1831 outG1831 at onceG5030 into the streetsG4116 and lanesG4505 of the cityG4172 and bringG1521 inG1521 hereG5602 thoseG3588 who are poorG4434, those with disabilitiesG374, those who are blindG5185, and those who are limpingG5560.’ 22And later the slaveG1401 saidG3004, ‘MasterG2962, whatG3739 you commandedG2004 has beenG1096 doneG1096, and stillG2089 there is roomG5117.’ 23And the masterG2962 saidG3004 to the slaveG1401, ‘GoG1831 outG1831 into the roadsG3598 and the hedgesG5418 and pressG315 uponG315 them to comeG1525 inG1525, soG2443 thatG2443 my houseG3624 will be filledG1072. 24For I tellG3004 you, noneG3762 of thoseG1565 menG435 who were invitedG2564 shall tasteG1089 my dinnerG1173.’”
