"But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:" — Luke 14:13 (ASV)
When thou makest a feast (οταν δοχην ποιηις). Hοταν and the present subjunctive in an indefinite temporal clause. Δοχη means reception as in Lu 5:29, late word, only in these two passages in the N.T. Note absence of article with these adjectives in the Greek (poor people, maimed folks, lame people, blind people).
