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!” ’
5 But they paid no attention and went away—this one to his own field, that one to his business.
6 And the others, seizing his slaves, mistreated them and killed them.
7 And the king was angry and sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding celebration is ready, but those who had been invited were not worthy.
9 Therefore, go out to the places where the roads exit the city and invite to the wedding celebration as many people as you find.’
10 And those slaves went out into the roads and gathered everyone whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding celebration was filled with dinner guests.
