Living_Oracles(i)
16 Jesus said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17 And at supper time he sent his servants, to tell those who had been invited to come presently; for, that all was ready.
18 But they all, without exception, made excuses. One said, I have purchased a field, which I must go and see; I pray you have me excused.
19 Another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, which I am going to prove; I pray you have me excused.
20 A third said, I have married a wife; and, therefore, I can not go.
21 The servant being returned, related all to his master. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servants, Go immediately into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind.
22 Afterward, the servant said, Sir, your orders are executed, and still there is room.
23 The master answered, Go out into the highways, and along the hedges, and compel people to come, that my house may be filled:
24 for I declare to you, that none of those who were invited, shall taste of my supper.
