CLV(i)
1 And, answering, Jesus speaks to them again in parables, saying,
2 Likened was the kingdom of the heavens to a man, a king, who makes wedding festivities for his son."
3 And he dispatches his slaves to call those invited to the wedding festivities, and they would not come."
4 Again he dispatches other slaves, saying, 'Say to those invited, "Lo! my luncheon have I made ready, my bulls and grain-fed animals have been sacrificed, and all is ready: Hither for the wedding festivities!"'"
5 Yet they, not caring, came away, one, indeed, to his own field, yet one to his merchandise."
6 Yet the rest, taking hold of his slaves, outrage and kill them."
7 Now the king is angered, and, sending his troops, destroys those murderers and sets their city in flames."
8 Then he is saying to his slaves, 'The wedding, indeed, is ready, yet those invited were not worthy."
9 Go, then, to the exits of the roads and whosoever you may be finding, call to the wedding festivities.'"
10 And, coming out into the roads, those slaves gathered all whom they found, both wicked and good, and filled is the wedding with those lying back at table."
