Luke 14:15-24 - The Parable Of The Large Banquet

¹⁵ And one of those who reclined with Him heard these things, and he said to Him, Blessed are those eating bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶ And He said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many. ¹⁷ And he sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

¹⁸ And all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, I must go and see it. I beg you, have me excused.

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

²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²¹ And coming up that servant reported these things to his lord. And the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the maimed, and the lame and the blind.

²² And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and still there is room.

²³ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled. ²⁴ For I say to you that none of these men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
