Luke 14:17-20

1. 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

2. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

3. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

4. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
