Luke 14:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Jesus said to him, “A certain man made a great banquet and invited many people. ¹⁷ When it was time for the banquet, he sent out his servant to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’ ¹⁸ But they all alike began to make excuses.

“The first one told him, ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’
