"Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ "Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.'

  4. "The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.'

  5. "'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet’” - Luke 14:16-24
