"And the master said to the servant, Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke 14:23)
At a meal Jesus tells of a man who gave a great banquet, but the invited guests all made excuses and refused to come. The master then sends his servant to bring in the poor and the outsiders so that his house will be filled.
