Luke 14:13-21

13But wheneverG3752 you giveG4160 a 1banquetG1403, inviteG2564 peopleG4434 who are poorG4434, who haveG374 disabilitiesG374, who are limpingG5560, and peopleG5185 whoG5185 areG5185 blindG5185; 14and you will be blessedG3107, sinceG3754 they 2do not haveG2192 the means to repayG467 you; for you will be repaidG467 at 3the resurrectionG386 of the righteousG1342.”

15NowG1161 when oneG5100 of thoseG3588 who were recliningG4873 at the table with Him heardG191 thisG3778, he saidG3004 to Him, “4BlessedG3107 is everyoneG3748 whoG3748 will eatG2068 breadG740 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316!” 16But He saidG3004 to him, “5A 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; 6pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’ 19And anotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘I boughtG59 fiveG4002 yokeG2201 of oxenG1016, and I am goingG4198 to tryG1381 them outG1381; 7pleaseG2065 considerG2192 me excusedG3868.’ 20And anotherG2087 oneG2087 saidG3004, ‘8I 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.’
