Luke 14:21

¹⁹ Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

²⁰ Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

²² ‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

²³ So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
