The Parable Of The Great Banquet

12 Then said he also to him that had desired him to dinner, "When thou makest a dinner, or a supper: call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor yet rich neighbours: lest they bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, 14 and thou shalt be happy: For they cannot recompense thee. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just men."
