2. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.
3. And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.
4. Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.
5. But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.
