¹⁶ But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; ¹⁷ And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready. ¹⁸ But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused. ²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come. ²¹ So the servant came and reported these to his master. Then the master of the house said in wrath to his servant, Go quickly into the great streets and the small streets of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame. ²² And the servant said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room. ²³ Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled. ²⁴ For I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall taste my supper.
