Context Readings

The Parable Of The Great Banquet

12 Jesus said to his host: When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors. They will invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. 13 But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 You will be blessed because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death.
