Luke 14:17-20

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.

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot come.
