“So where is he?” he asked his daughters. “Why then did you leave the man behind? Invite him to eat dinner.”

“But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him 100 denarii. He grabbed him, started choking him, and said, ‘Pay what you owe!’

Again, he sent out other slaves, and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“You give them something to eat,” He responded.

They said to Him, “Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”

For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her.

“A creditor had two debtors. One owed 500 denarii, and the other 50.

The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him. When I come back I’ll reimburse you for whatever extra you spend.’

When the Pharisee saw this, he was amazed that He did not first perform the ritual washing before dinner.

He also said to the one who had invited Him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite your friends, your brothers, your relatives, or your rich neighbors, because they might invite you back, and you would be repaid.

Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for each of them to have a little.”

So they gave a dinner for Him there; Martha was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

“Why wasn’t this fragrant oil sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor?”

And Peter stayed on many days in Joppa with Simon, a leather tanner.

He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

Therefore send someone to Joppa and invite Simon here, who is also named Peter. He is lodging in Simon the tanner’s house by the sea.’

Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.
