Matthew 22:5-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. “But the people refused to listen to the servants. They went to do other things. One went to work in his field, and another went to his business.

6. Some of the other people grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them.

7. The king was very angry. He sent his army to kill the people who had killed his servants. And the army burned their city.

8. “After that, the king said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not worthy to come.

9. So go to the street corners and invite everyone you see. Tell them to come to my feast.’

10. So the servants went into the streets. They gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
