"Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.  And both the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them." So He told them this parable, saying, "What man among you, if he has one hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So then, none of you can be My disciple who doe...

And He said to him, "A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many. And at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it. I ask you, consider me excused.’ And another one said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. I ask you, consider me excused.’ And another one said, ‘I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.’ And when the slave came back, he reported these things to his master.
