Luke 14:18

Make excuse [π α ρ α ι τ ε ι σ θ α ι]. Also rendered in New Testament refuse, Hebrews 12:19; Hebrews 12:25, where both meanings occur. See also 2 Timothy 2:23, Rev. Our phrase, beg off, expresses the idea here.

I must needs [ε χ ω α ν α γ κ η ν]. Lit., I have necessity : a strong expression. Go [ε ξ ε λ θ ε ι ν]. Go out [ε ξ] from the city.
