Luke 14:13-21

13But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;

14and you will be blessed, since they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Now hearing this, one of those dining with Yeshua said to Him, “Blessed is he who eats bread in the kingdom of God.”

16But Yeshua said to him, “A certain man was hosting a large banquet, and he invited many.

17At the time for the banquet, he sent his slave to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, everything is already prepared.’

18“But every one of them began to beg off. The first said to him, ‘I bought a farm, and I’m obligated to go out to see it. I’m asking you to have me excused.’

19Then another one said, ‘I’ve purchased five teams of oxen, and I’m going to check them out. I’m asking you to have me excused.’

20Still another said, ‘I’ve married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“The slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house got angry and said to his slave, ‘Quickly go out into the squares and alleys of the city and bring here the poor, the maimed, the blind, and the lame.’
