The Parable of the Great Supper for Kids: Bible Story & Printables

The story in a nutshell

Jesus told about a certain man who "made a great supper, and bade many," and sent his servant to say, "Come; for all things are now ready." But "they all with one consent began to make excuse": one had bought a piece of ground, one had bought five yoke of oxen, and one had married a wife. So the master sent his servant to bring in "the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind," and then into "the highways and hedges," "that my house may be filled."
