'Invited' in the Bible

Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all.

And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

So he invited them in and gave them lodging.And on the next day he got up and went away with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

There we found some brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.
