12He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don`t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14and you will be blessed, because they don`t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."
15When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will feast in the kingdom of God!"
16But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, `Come, for everything is ready now.`
18They all as one began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.`
