Luke 14:15-24

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ Now when one of them who sat at table heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who eats bread in the Kingdom of God.”

¹⁶ Then He said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and invited many,

¹⁷ “and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come. For all things are now ready.’

¹⁸ “But they all, with one mind, began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a farm, and I must go out and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’

¹⁹ “And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen. And I go to test them. I ask that you have me excused.’

²⁰ “And another said, ‘I have married a wife. And therefore, I cannot come.’

²¹ “So that servant returned and told his master these things. Then the good man of the house was angry, and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city! And bring the poor in here, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind!’

²² “And the servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you have commanded. And still there is room.’

²³ “Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and urge them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

²⁴ ‘For I say to you that none of those who were invited shall taste of my supper.’”
