Luke 14:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

¹⁷ And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.

¹⁸ And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.
