1. And, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach again spoke in meshalim (parables) to them, saying,
2. The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man, a Melech (King), who prepared a feast for the chasunoh (wedding) of Bno.
3. And the Melech sent out his servants to summon the Bnei HaChuppah (wedding invitees--Mt 9:15) to the chasunoh, and they did not want to come.
4. Again, the Melech sent out other servants, saying, Tell the Bnei HaChuppah, the wedding invitees, Hinei! My Seudah I have prepared, my oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready: Come to the chasunoh!
5. But the Bnei HaChuppah, the chasunoh invitees, having treated it all as a mere trifle, departed, one to his farmer's field, one to his business.
6. Meanwhile, the others seized the Mesharetim HaMelech (Ministers of the King) and abused them and killed them.
