1 And responding, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was king, who celebrated a wedding for his son. 3 And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding. But they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell the invited: Behold, I have prepared my meal. My bulls and fatlings have been killed, and all is ready. Come to the wedding.’ 5 But they ignored this and they went away: one to his country estate, and another to his business. 6 Yet truly, the rest took hold of his servants and, having treated them with contempt, killed them. 7 But when the king heard this, he was angry. And sending out his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding, indeed, has been prepared. But those who were invited were not worthy. Matthew 22:1-8, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
