A SERMON OF D. MARTIN LVTHER, CONCERNING THE BIDDING OF GVESTS TO THE great supper.
Luke 14. Verse 16. A Certain man made a great supper, and bad many. 17. And sent his servant at supper time ⟨p. 165⟩to say to them that were bidden: Come, for all things are now ready. 18. But they all with one mind began to make excuse: The first said unto him, I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19. And an other said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20. And an other said, I have married a wife, and therefore I can not come. 21. So that servant returned, & showed his master these things: Then was the good man of the house angry, and said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets & lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, & the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22. And the servant said, Lord it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23. Then the master said to the servant: Go out into the hie ways & hedges, & compel them to come in, that mine house may be filled. 24. For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
