Matthew 22:2-4

²“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who organized a wedding celebration for his son,” Jesus explained.

³“He sent out his servants to everyone who was invited to the wedding to tell them to come, but they refused.

⁴So he sent out more servants, with the instructions, ‘Tell those who are invited that I've prepared the wedding banquet. The bulls and fattened calves have been killed—everything's ready. So come to the wedding!’
