LUKE 14:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.”
Still another said, I just got married, so I can't come — the most brazen of the three excuses: I just got married. The Mosaic provision (Deuteronomy 24:5) that exempted a newly married man from military service does not apply to a social banquet. The I can't come lacks even the please excuse me of the previous two — the rudeness is the point.
