Parable of the wedding party
1 Jesus responded by speaking again in parables:
2
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding party for his son.
3
He sent his servants to call those invited to the wedding party. But they didn't want to come.
4
Again he sent other servants and said to them, ‘Tell those who have been invited, " Look, the meal is all prepared. I've butchered the oxen and the fattened cattle. Now everything's ready. Come to the wedding party!" '
5
But they paid no attention and went away—some to their fields, others to their businesses.
6
The rest of them grabbed his servants, abused them, and killed them.
