LUKE: Chapter 14

16 Then said he unto them, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that they were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

19 And another said, I have brought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therfore I cannot come.

21 So 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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 And the lord said unto his servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house be filled.
