The parable about the reluctant dinner guests

Luke 14:15–24

14:15 The parable about the reluctant dinner guests

15 Now one of the people at the meal heard all that and commented, “Blessed is anyone who gets to have a meal in God’s kingdom.”

16 But Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) responded, “There was a home-owner who was putting on a large dinner and invited many people. 17 When the meal was ready, he sent out his slave to go and tell everyone who’d been invited, ‘Come over now because the food is ready.’ 18 However they all started giving excuses. The first one said, ‘I bought a field and I need to go and inspect it. Please excuse me.’ 19 Another one said, ‘I’ve bought five pairs of oxen and I need to check them out. Please excuse me.’ 20 Yet another said, ‘I just got married so I can’t really come.’ 21 So when the slave got back, he reported all that to his master. The home-owner got angry and told the slave, ‘Well then, hurry out into the roads and streets of the city and bring back the poor and crippled and blind and lame people.’ 22 When he’d done that, the slave said, ‘Master, I’ve done what you instructed and there’s still room at the table.’ 23 So the master instructed him, ‘Well go along the roads and fences and force them to come so that my house will fill up, 24 because I’m telling you that none of those invited guests will get a taste of this meal of mine.’ ”

Mat 22:1–10

22:1 The parable about the wedding reception

(Luke 14:15-24)

22 Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), still answering them, told another parable: 2 “The heavenly kingdom is like this: A king prepared his son’s wedding reception, 3 and he sent out some of his slaves to remind the people who’d been invited, but they didn’t want to come. 4 So he sent out some other slaves, instructing them, ‘Tell the people who were invited: Listen, I’ve prepared the dinner, including some of my grain-fed beef, and everything’s now ready. Come to the wedding and celebrate.’ 5 But they ignored the message and went their various ways—one went off to his field to work, and another went to deal with his business. 6 Still others grabbed the slaves and mistreated them, and even killed them.

7 “Now the king was angry and sent in his soldiers to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8 Then he told his slaves, ‘Well, the wedding reception is ready, but the people who were invited aren’t worthy to come. 9 So spread out on the roads and invite everyone you find to come to the reception.’ 10 So those slaves went out onto the roads and invited everyone they found—both evil and good people, and then the seats at the wedding reception were all full.

22 And the Yaʸsous answering, again spoke to _them in parables saying,

2 The kingdom of _the heavens was _likened to_a_man, a_king, who made a_wedding _festivities for _the son of _him.

3 And sent _out the slaves of _him, to _call the ones having _been _invited to the wedding _festivities, and they _were_ not _willing to _come.

4 Again he _sent _out other slaves saying:
Say to _the ones having _been _invited:
Behold, I _have _prepared the dinner of _me, the bulls of _me, and the grain _fed having _been _sacrificed, and all things are _ready, come to the wedding _festivities.

5 But they having _neglected went _away, on _one _hand that one to his own field, on _the _other _hand that one to the business of _him.

6 And the rest having _apprehended the slaves of _him, they _mistreated and they _killed_ them _off.

7 But the king was _angered, and having _sent the armies of _him, destroyed the those murderers, and inflamed the city of _them.

8 Then he _is _saying to _the slaves of _him:
On _one _hand the wedding is ready, on _the _other _hand the ones having _been _invited were not worthy.

9 Therefore be _going in the thoroughfares of _the roads, and invite as _many _as if you _all _may _find to the wedding _festivities.

10 And the those slaves having _come _out into the roads, they _gathered _together all whom they _found, both evil and good, and the wedding was _filled of _reclining ones.
