Luke 14:16-24

Murdock(i) 16 Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. 17 And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come. 18 And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused. 19 Another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to inspect them. I pray thee, allow me to be excused. 20 Another said: I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come. 21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind. 22 And the servant said: My lord, it is done as thou commandedst; and still there is room. 23 And the lord said to his servant: Go out to the by-paths, and among the hedges, and constrain them to come in; that my house may be filled. 24 For I declare to you, that not one of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
