38 The man was grieved in heart; and then he sent his servants forth into the streets and alleys of the town to bring up to the feast the poor, the lame, the blind.
39 The servants went abroad and found the poor, the lame, the blind, and brought them in; but there was room for more.
40 The host then sent his men of arms to bring by force the people to his feast; and then the house was full.

42 He then sent forth his servants to the strangers and the multitudes; they came, but there is room for more.
43 Behold, for he will send his angels forth with mighty trumpet blast, and men will be compelled to come up to the feast.
