Matthew 22:2-10
-
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
-
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
-
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 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
-
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
-
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.
-
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
-
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
-
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
