3 And sent foorth his seruauntes, to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they woulde not come. 4 Agayne, he sent foorth other seruauntes, saying: Tell them which are bidden, beholde, I haue prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fatlynges are kylled, and all thynges are redy: come vnto the mariage. 5 But they made lyght of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, another to his marchaundize: 6 And the remnaunt toke his seruauntes, and entreated them spitefully, and slewe them. 7 But when the kyng hearde therof , he was wroth, and sent foorth his men of warre, and destroyed those murtherers and brent vp their citie. 8 Then sayde he to his seruauntes, the mariage in dede is prepared: But they which were bidden, were not worthy.
