1 And continuing, Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who gave a wedding celebration for his son.
3 And he sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the wedding celebration, and they did not want to come.
4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding celebration!” ’
