Matthew 22:2-6

Living_Oracles(i) 2 The Administration of Heaven resembles the conduct of a king, who having made a marriage feast for his son, 3 sent his servants to call them, who had been invited; but they would not come. 4 Then he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited I have prepared my feast; my bullocks and fatlings are slain, and all is ready; come to the marriage. 5 But they turned away with indifference, one to his farm, another to his merchandize. 6 And the rest seizing his servants, abused and killed them.
