Matthew 22:1-7

1 And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again in parables and said,

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king, who made a marriage for his son.

3 And he 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 that 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, and another to his merchandise,

6 and the remnant took his servants and treated 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.
