# General Information:
All of the people who were invited gave the servant excuses about why they could not come to the banquet.
# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues telling his parable.
# to make excuses
"to say why they could not come to the dinner"
# The first said to him
The reader should be able to infer that these people spoke directly to the servant whom the master had sent out ([Luke 14:17](../14/17.md)). Alternate translation: "The first sent him a message, saying" or "The first told the servant to say" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
# Please excuse me
"Please forgive me" or "Please accept my apology"
