Matthew 22:2-6

2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

3He sent his servants to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn’t want to come.

4Again, he sent out other servants and said, ‘Tell those who are invited: See, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

5“But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business,

6while the rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
