1Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3and sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
4Again he sent forth other servants, saying, `Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have made ready my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast."`
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7But the king was angry, and he sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
