15 Hearing that, one among [those] who lay at the table said: “Happy is [the one] who eats bread in God's kingdom!”
16 Jesus said to him: “[There] was a man who prepared a great supper, and he invited numerous ones. 17 And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper, to say to [those] who were invited: “Come, for now everything is ready!” 18 But all among them started to give reasons not to come. The first said to him: 'I have bought [lit. traded to myself] a field, and it is necessary for me to go to see it. I beg of you, do not think evil about me since it is not possible for me to come!' 19 And another said: 'I have traded to myself five yokes of oxes, and I am going to test them. I beg of you, do not think evil about me since it is not possible for me to come.' 20 And another said: 'I have married a woman, and therefore it is not possible for me to come.' 21 When he returned, the thrall told these things to his lord. Then the chief of the house was angry and said to his thrall: 'Go with speed into the streets and ways in the city, and bring here the poor ones and cripples and blind ones and lame ones!'
