Matthew 22:2-7
2“1The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 2isG3666 likeG3666 3a kingG444G935 whoG3748 4heldG4160 a 5weddingG1062 feastG1062 for his sonG5207.
3And he 6sentG649 his slavesG1401 to callG2564 thoseG3588 who had been invitedG2564 to the weddingG1062 feastG1062, and they were unwillingG3756G2309 to comeG2064.
4AgainG3825 he 7sentG649 otherG243 slavesG1401, sayingG3004, ‘TellG3004 thoseG3588 who have been invitedG2564, “BeholdG2400, I have preparedG2090 my dinnerG712; my oxenG5022 and my fattenedG4619 cattleG4619 are all butcheredG2380 and everythingG3956 is readyG2092. ComeG1205 to the weddingG1062 feastG1062!”’
5But they paidG272 noG272 attentionG272 and wentG565 their separate waysG565, oneG3739 to his ownG2398 8farmG68, anotherG3739G1161 to his businessG1711,
6and the restG3062 seizedG2902 his slavesG1401 and treatedG5195 them abusivelyG5195, and then killedG615 them.
7Now the kingG935 wasG3710 angryG3710, and he sentG3992 his armiesG4753 and destroyedG622 thoseG1565 murderersG5406 and setG1705 their cityG4172 onG1705 fireG1705.
