16 Jesus said to him, A man gave a great supper, and invited many. 17 And he sent his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, Behold, everything is made ready for you, come. 18 One and all, they began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I am forced to go and see it; I beg you to excuse me for being called away. 19 Another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am just going to examine them; I beg you, excuse me for being called away. 20 Another said, I have just taken a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 And the servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servant, Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the afflicted, the maimed and the blind. 22 And the servant said, My Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and yet there is more room. 23 Then the master said to his servant, Go out to the highways and hedges, and urge them to come in so that my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
