Lukas 14:10-20

10 But when you are invited, go and recline at tish in the moshav hashafel (low seat), so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, Chaver, move up to a higher place; then you will have kavod in the sight of all with you at the tish.
11 For everyone exalting himself shall be humbled, and the one humbling himself shall be exalted.
12 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking also to the one who invited him, When you prepare a seudah or a Melave Malkah, do not invite your chaverim or your achim or your krovey mishpochot (relatives) or your shchenim haashirim, lest they also should invite you in return and repayment come to you.
13 But when you prepare a seudah (feast), invite the aniyim (the poor), the baalei hamum (the maimed), the pisechim (the lame), the ivrim (blind),
14 And Birkat Shomayim (the Blessing of Heaven) will befall you, because they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid in the Yom Tekumat HaTzadikkim (Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous, Rev 20:5).
15 And when a certain one of those reclining at tish with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach heard these things, he said to him, Ashrey is he who will eat lechem in the Malchut Hashem! [YESHAYAH 25:6]
16 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, A certain man was preparing a big seudah, and he invited many;
17 And at the dinner hour, he sent his eved to say to the seudah invitees, Come, because everything is ready now.
18 But each began to come up with a teretz (excuse). The rishon (first) said to him, I bought a sadeh (field) and I am compelled to go out and look at it. Please be mekabel (receive, accept) my teretz.
19 And another said, I have bought chamesh pair of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please be mekabel my teretz (excuse).
20 And another said, I took a wife and therefore I am not able to come.
