But just as Jesus prophesied; some have bought new property <ref>[[Lu 14:18]] And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.</ref>, other have new animals (or cars) <ref>[[Lu 14:19]] And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.</ref>, others are newly married <ref>[[Lu 14:20]] And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.</ref>; and ya know... they aren't the only ones... we all have excuses not to come to the feast of new teaching made available by the cross.
