Luke 14:17-19

17and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’

18But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’

19And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
