Matthew 22:1-6

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

1 And again Jesus ¹spoke to them in parables, saying,

2 ²"The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave ³a wedding feast for his son,

3 and ⁴sent his servants^[a] to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

4 ⁵Again he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my ⁶dinner, ⁷my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'

5 But ⁸they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business,

6 while the rest seized his servants, ⁹treated them shamefully, and ¹⁰killed them.
