2 The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a certain man, a king, who made a marriage feast for his son
3 and sent forth his slaves to call those that were invited to the wedding, and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other slaves, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my bulls and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,
6 and the others took his slaves and entreated them spitefully and slew them.
7 But when the king heard of this, he became angry and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.
8 Then he said to his slaves, The wedding is ready, but those who were called were not worthy.
