Luke 14:18

Overview - Luke 14
1	Christ heals the dropsy on the sabbath;
7	teaches humility;
12	to feast the poor;
15	under the parable of the great supper, shows how worldly minded men, who contemn the word of God, shall be shut out of heaven.
25	Those who will be his disciples, to bear their cross must make their accounts beforehand, lest with shame they revolt from him afterward;
34	and become altogether unprofitable, like salt that has lost its savour.

Luke 14:18  (King James Version)
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.
