Luke 14: ¹⁵...one of the guests said, "The greatest blessing of all is to be at the banquet in God's kingdom!" ¹⁶Jesus said to him: "A man once gave a great banquet and invited a lot of guests. ¹⁷When the banquet was ready, he sent a servant to tell the guests, 'Everything is ready!' Please come. ¹⁸One guest after another started making excuses. The first one said, 'I bought some land, and I've got to look it over. Please excuse me.' ¹⁹Another guest said, 'I bought five teams of oxen, and I need to try them out. Please excuse me.' ²⁰Still another guest said, 'I have just got married, and I can't be there.'

Bring in everyone who is poor or crippled or blind or lame.'.... ²³'Go out along the back roads and fence rows and make people come in, so my house will be full. ²⁴Not one of the guests I first invited will get even a bite of my food!'"
