40:021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
40:022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
40:022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
40:022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
40:022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
40:022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
40:022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
40:022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
40:022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
40:022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
