Luke 14:15

The kingdom of God

13 But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14 and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16 But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17 When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
