1 Again Jesus used stories as illustrations when he spoke to them. He said, 2 |The kingdom of heaven is like a king who planned a wedding for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come. 4 He sent other servants to tell the people who had been invited, 'I've prepared dinner. My bulls and fattened calves have been butchered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!' 5 |But they paid no attention and went away. Some went to work in their own fields, and others went to their businesses. 6 The rest grabbed the king's servants, mistreated them, and then killed them. Matthew 22:1-6, God's Word Translation.
