Luke 14:16–24

¹⁶Then said he unto him, ^xA certain man made a great supper, and bade many: ¹⁷And sent his servant at supper time ^yto say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. ¹⁸And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought ^za piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. ¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and ^aI go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. ²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. ²¹So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither ^bthe poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. ²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. ²³And the lord said unto the servant, ^cGo out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. ²⁴For I say unto you, ^dThat none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
