Luke 14:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² Then Jesus said to the man who had invited him:

When you give a dinner or a banquet, don't invite your friends and family and relatives and rich neighbors. If you do, they will invite you in return, and you will be paid back. ¹³ When you give a feast, invite the poor, the paralyzed, the lame, and the blind. ¹⁴ They cannot pay you back. But God will bless you and reward you when his people rise from death.
