12And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.
13But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:
14And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.
15And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.
16And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.
17And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready.
18And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.
