1. And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2. The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
3. and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
4. Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
5. But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
