LUKE 14:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.”
Another said, I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me — the five yoke of oxen: another implausible excuse — you test the oxen before purchase. The I'm on my way communicates the urgency: not merely a planned future activity but something he's doing right now. The urgency of the worldly activity eclipses the banquet invitation.
