Matthew 22:4-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ Again, he sent forth other slaves, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my bulls and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage.

⁵ But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,

⁶ and the others took his slaves and entreated them spitefully and slew them.

⁷ But when the king heard of this, he became angry and sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city.

⁸ Then he said to his slaves, The wedding is ready, but those who were called were not worthy.
