Matthew 22:2-6

2“The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

3He sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come.

4Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready. My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’

5But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.

6The rest seized his slaves, insolently mistreated them, and killed them.
