Luke 14:11-18

¹¹For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹²Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁵And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

¹⁷And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

¹⁸And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
