Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 22:4-9 New International Version (NIV)

4. “Then he sent some more servants 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 and burned their city.

8. “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.

9. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’
