Luke Chapter 14, Verse 19
From BibleWiki
19: και ετερος ειπεν ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
19: And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to
prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
19: And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to try
them. I pray thee, hold me excused.
I go to prove them. To try them, to see if he had made a good
bargain. It is worthy of remark that this excuse was very trifling.
He could as easily have tried them at any other time as then, and his
whole conduct shows that he was more disposed to gratify himself than to
accept the invitation of his friend. He was selfish; just as all sinners
are, who, to gratify their own worldliness and sins, refuse to accept
the offers of the gospel.
