Matthew:22:2-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king ,
which made a marriage for his son ,
*
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding :
and they would not come .
*
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 .
*
But they made light of it ,
and went their ways ,
one to his farm ,
another to his merchandise :
*
And the remnant took his servants ,
and entreated them spitefully ,
and slew them .
*
But when the king heard thereof ,
he was wroth :
and he sent forth his armies ,
and destroyed those murderers ,
and burned up their city .
*
Then saith he to his servants ,
The wedding is ready ,
but they which were bidden were not worthy .
*
Go ye therefore into the highways ,
and as many as ye shall find ,
bid to the marriage .
*
So those servants went out into the highways ,
and gathered together all as many as they found ,
both bad and good :
and the wedding was furnished with guests .
