Luke 14:19 Context
17And sent his seruant at supper time, to say to them that were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready. 18And they all with one consent began to make excuse: The first said vnto him, I haue bought a piece of ground, and I must needs goe and see it: I pray thee haue me excused. 19And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to prooue them: I pray thee haue me excused. 20And another said, I haue maried a wife: and therefore I cannot come. 21So that seruant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, sayde to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
