Matthew 22:1-7

1. 1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2. 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3. 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6. 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
