Luke 14:15-24 - The Parable Of The Large Banquet
15 And one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him - Happy, whoever shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!
16 But, he, said unto him - A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many; 17 and he sent out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited - Be coming! because, even now, is it, ready.
18 And they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him - A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me excused.
19 And, another, said - Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold me excused.
20 And, another, said - A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!
21 And, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant - Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, - and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou in here.
22 And the servant said - Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant - Go out among the highways and fences, and compel them to come in; that my house may be filled. 24 For, I say unto you - Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.
