Matthew 22:3

The Parable Of The Wedding Celebration

² The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married, ³ And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.
