Matthew 22:5
Compare all
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.
4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; amy oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’  
5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.
6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them1 spitefully, and killed them.  
7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out ahis armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.  
8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not aworthy.  
9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’
