<p>14:24 <i>For I say to you, that none of those men that were invited shall taste my supper</i>- There may be the implication that the three people said &quot;I cannot come&quot; with the implication 'I can't come <i>right now</i>, but later'; and the Greek could bear such an interpretation. The master's comment at the end suggests that he knew these people would later turn up at the supper, but he would refuse them entry. There are often connections within the Lord's parables; in this case, the men who were so busy with daily life that they turned up at the wedding later would connect with the story of the other wedding guests who didn't have enough oil, and who <i>later</i> turned up at the wedding feast- again, only to be barred entry.</p>
