Although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe.’

Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’

Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”

And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

But He answered them, “You give them something to eat!” And they *said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread and give them something to eat?”

“A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’

And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

But He said to him, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;

and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’

For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.’”

Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.”

“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?”

And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea.”

Therefore send to Joppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.’
