Luke 14:14-24

14 and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not whereof to yield [again] to thee, for it shall be yielded to thee [forsooth it shall be requited to thee] in the rising again of just men.
15 And when one of them that sat together at the meat had heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he, that shall eat bread in the realm of God.
16 And he said to him, A man made a great supper [Some man made a great supper], and called many.
17 And he sent his servant in the hour of supper, to say to men that were bidden to the feast, that they should come, for now all things be ready.
18 And all began together to excuse them(selves). The first said [to him], I have bought a town, and I have need to go out, and see it; I pray thee, have me excused.
19 And the tother said, I have bought five yokes of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee, have me excused.
20 And another said, I have wedded a wife; and therefore I may not come.
21 And the servant turned again, and told these things to his lord. Then the husbandman was wroth, and said to his servant, Go out swiftly into the great streets and the small streets of the city [Then the husbandman wroth, said to his servant, Go out soon into great streets and small streets of the city], and bring in hither poor men, and feeble, [and] blind men, and crooked.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done, as thou hast commanded, and yet there is a void place [and yet there is a place].
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into ways and hedges, and constrain men to enter, that mine house be full-filled [that mine house be filled].
24 For I say to you, that none of those men that be called, shall taste my supper.
