1 AND Jeshu answered again by comparisons, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven resembles a royal person who made a feast to his son;
3 and he sent his servants to call the invited ones to the feast, but they were not willing to come.
4 And again he sent other servants, and said, Tell the invited ones, Behold, my dinner is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 But they despised (it), and went, one to his domain, and another to his business.
6 But the rest took his servants and shamefully treated and killed (them).
7 But when the king heard, he was wroth; and sent his forces and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Go therefore into the outlets of the highways, and every one whom you find call to the feast.
10 And those servants went forth into the highways, and assembled all whom they found, the bad and the good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests,[Recliners.]
