Matthew 22:1-6

1 And Jesus answered, and spake again in parables to them, and said,

2 The kingdom of heavens is made like to a king that made weddings to his son. [The kingdom of heavens is like to a man king that made weddings to his son.]

3 And he sent his servants to call men that were bidden to the weddings, and they would not come.

4 Again he sent other servants, and said [saying], Say to the men that be bidden to the feast, Lo! I have made ready my meat, my bulls and my volatiles be slain [my bulls and my volatiles, or my fat beasts, be slain], and all things be ready; come ye to the weddings.

5 But they despised, and went forth, one into his town, another to his merchandise. [Soothly they despised, or reckoned not, and they went away, one into his vineyard, forsooth another to his merchandise.]

6 But [the] others held his servants, and tormented them, and slew [them].
