The invitation to the supper

Luke 14:15-24

15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 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. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Lucas 14:15-24

15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que estaban sentados con Él a la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que coma pan en el reino de Dios. 16 Él entonces le dijo: “Un hombre hizo una gran cena, y convidó a muchos.” 17 “Y a la hora de la cena envió a su siervo a decir a los que habían sido convidados: Venid, que ya todo está preparado.” 18 “Y comenzaron todos a una a excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito ir a verla; te ruego que me excuses.” 19 “Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy a probarlos; te ruego que me excuses.” 20 “Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.” 21 “Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas a su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de familia, dijo a su siervo: Ve pronto por las plazas y las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá a los pobres, los mancos, los cojos y los ciegos.” 22 “Y dijo el siervo: Señor, se ha hecho como mandaste, y aún hay lugar.” 23 “Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérzalos a entrar, para que se llene mi casa.” 24 “Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron convidados, gustará mi cena.”
