Luke 14:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Invite the Needy.^[a] Then he said to the one who had invited him, “When you host a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, lest they invite you back and thus repay you. ¹³ Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. ¹⁴ Then indeed will you be blessed because they have no way to repay you. But you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
