Luke 14:17-19

Darby Translation

¹⁷ And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

¹⁸ And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

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