Matthew 22:2-8

2The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

3and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.

4Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

6and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

7But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
