     14.15      And
                 when one of those eating with him heard these things
(A)        he said
                 to him,
 (1)                    Blessed is he who will eat bread
                                             in the Kingdom of God.

     14.16      But
(B)        Jesus said
                    to him,
 (2)                       A certain man gave a great supper,
                                and
 (3)                       he invited many,
     14.17                      and
 (4)                       he sent his servant
                                 at the hour of the supper
                                 to tell those who had been invited,
                                                                    Come
                                                                       because it is already prepared.

     14.18                      And
 (5)                       they all began making excuses.

 (6)                       The first one said 
                                            to him,
                                                   I have bought a field
                                                        and
                                                   I must go see it;
                                                   I ask you,
                                                              Please excuse me.

     14.19                     And
 (7)                       another said,
                                        I have bought five pair of oxen
                                             and
                                        I go to test them
                                        I ask you,
                                                  Please excuse me.

     14.20                     And
 (8)                       another said,
                                        I have married a wife
                                             and
                                             because of this
                                        I am not able to come.

     14.21                     And
                                          having gone back
 (9)                       the servant reported these things to his master.

                               Then
                                                      having become angry
(10)                       the master of the house said
                                                      to his servant,
                                                                     Go 
                                                                        quickly
                                                                        into the streets and alleys of the city,
                                                                          and
                                                                     bring the poor  
                                                                        here        and
                                                                               crippled 
                                                                                    and 
                                                                               blind 
                                                                                    and 
                                                                               lame.

     14.22                     And
(11)                      the servant said,
                                                Sir,
                                           what you commanded is done,
                                                and
                                           still there is room.

     14.23                     And
(12)                      the master said
                                        to the servant,
                                                        Go 
                                                          into the paths and hedges
                                                             and
                                                        compel them to come in
                                                           so that my house may be filled.

     14.24                                                   For
                                                        I tell you
                                                                   that no one...will taste of my supper.  
                                                                              of those invited men
