16But he said to him, a“A man once bgave a great banquet and invited many. 17And at the time for the banquet he csent his servant ▼▼Greek bondservant; also verses 21, 22, 23
to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20And another said, e‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in fthe poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23And 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. 24For I tell you, ▼▼The Greek word for you here is plural
hnone of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’” John 1:11

19But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,n“I will omake you jealous of those who are not a nation;

q“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21But of Israel he says, r“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

Gentiles Grafted In
11So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass ssalvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion ▼▼Greek their fullness
mean! 13Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as uI am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
