* But he said to him , "A man once gave a great banquet , and invited many ; * and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited , `Come ; for all is now ready .' * But they all alike began to make excuses . The first said to him , `I have bought a field , and I must go out and see it ; I pray you , have me excused .' * And another said , `I have bought five yoke of oxen , and I go to examine them ; I pray you , have me excused .' * And another said , `I have married a wife , and therefore I cannot come .' * So the servant came and reported this to his master . Then the householder in anger said to his servant , `Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city , and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame .' * And the servant said , `Sir , what you commanded has been done , and still there is room .' * And the master said to the servant , `Go out to the highways and hedges , and compel people to come in , that my house may be filled . * For I tell you , none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet .'"
