13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

14 and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.|

15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, |Blessed is he who will feast in the Kingdom of God!|

16 But he said to him, |A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

18 They all as one began to make excuses. |The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'
