The Parable Of The Wedding Celebration

2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king, - who made a marriage-feast for his son; 3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, - and they would not come. 4 Again, sent he other servants, saying - Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, - and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.
