Matthew 22:3-6

New American Standard Bible

³ And he ^(A)sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. ⁴ Again he ^(B)sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened cattle are all butchered and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’ ⁵ But they paid no attention and went their separate ways, one to his own ^[a]farm, another to his business, ⁶ and the rest seized his slaves and treated them abusively, and then killed them.
