Luke 14:15-24

Listen to Luke 14:15-24
15 When one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, 1“Blessed is everyone who will 2eat bread in the kingdom of God! ”
16 But he said to him, 3“A man once 4gave a great banquet and invited many.
17 And at the time for the banquet he 5sent his servant[a] to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready. ’
18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused. ’
19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused. ’
20 And another said, 6‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. ’
21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in 7the poor and crippled and blind and lame. ’
22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room. ’
23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I tell you, [b] 8none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet. ’”
