¹⁸ And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold 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.

²⁰ And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
