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.
7. So the Melech was angry and, having sent his armies, the King destroyed those ratzchaniyot (murderers), and their city he burned.
8. Then the King says to his ministers, The chasunoh is ready, but the invited ones were not worthy.
9. Therefore, go to the intersections of the streets, and, whoever you find, invite as muzmanim (guests) to the chasunoh.
