¹⁶ And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people. ¹⁷ And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready. ¹⁸ And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come. ¹⁹ And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come. ²⁰ And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come. ²¹ And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body. ²² And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room. ²³ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full. ²⁴ For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.
