Parable of the Great Supper

15

Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

16

Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,

17

And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

18

But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.

19

And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

20

And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.

21

So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

22

And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

23

Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

24

For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
