Book of Luke - Chapter 14 - Verse 24

14:24
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Meaning

When Jesus says, "For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper," he is delivering a powerful message about the kingdom of God and the consequences of rejecting his invitation. This verse can be found in the book of Luke, where Jesus tells a parable about a great supper prepared by a certain man, who sends out invitations to many guests. However, those who were initially invited make excuses and decline the invitation. In response, the host becomes angry and invites others in their place, including the poor, blind, and lame. The underlying message of this parable is that those who reject the invitation to partake in the blessings of God's kingdom will not be able to experience its joy and abundance. It serves as a reminder that God's invitation is open to all, but not all will accept it, and those who refuse will miss out on the blessings and fellowship that come with accepting his invitation.
