And Jesus answered, and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
2
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
3
And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
4
Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.
5
But they made light of [it], and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise.
6
And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
