And he said also to him who invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest they too invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

And at the hour of supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for things are now ready.

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

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

And in like manner he took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is about to be shed for you.
