Luke 14:17-20

¹⁷and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready.

¹⁸'And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused.

¹⁹'And another said, Five yoke of oxen I bought, and I go on to prove them; I beg of thee, have me excused:

²⁰and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I am not able to come.
