3 And he sent forth his servants to call those who had been invited to the marriage feast, and they were not willing to come. 4 "Again he sent forth other servants, saying, 'Say to those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and fatlings have been slain, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.' 5 "But they, neglecting it , went away; one, indeed, to his own farm, another to his merchandise; 6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, maltreated and slew them . 7 "And the king was enraged; and, sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then he says to his servants, 'The marriage feast, indeed is ready; but those who had been invited were not worthy; 9 go, therefore, to the outlets of the highways; and as many as ye find, invite to the marriage feast.'
