42:014:018 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.
42:014:019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to
prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
42:014:020 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
cannot come.
42:014:021 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.
42:014:022 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
42:014:023 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.
42:014:024 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden
shall taste of my supper.
42:014:025 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and
said unto them,
42:014:026 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
42:014:027 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
