Matthew 22:2-7
New International Version
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(A) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(B) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants(C) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(D) and burned their city.
