1
Jesus 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,
3
and sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
4
Again 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."`
