Matthew 22:1-6 ▼

1 And Iesus aunswered, and spake vnto them againe by parables, and sayde:

2 The kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a man that was a kyng, which made a mariage for his sonne.

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.
