Draft source version“When thou makest a dinner or a supper,” Christ says, “call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” Luke 14:12-14 .
Scriptural instruction to invite the poor and marginalized to feasts rather than those who can repay. This is a direct scriptural quotation from Luke 14:12-14 detailing a moral and religious teaching.
