Luke 14:16-18

Darby Translation

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

¹⁷ And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

¹⁸ And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
