Luke 14:18 DBY

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.

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

²⁰  And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
