Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
