Luke 14:15-19

Now when one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” Parable of the Dinner

But He said to him, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;

and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is ready now.’

And yet they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I purchased a field and I need to go out to look at it; please consider me excused.’

And another one said, ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.’
