Matthew 22:2-4

²The kingdom of heavens is made like to a king that made weddings to his son. (The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who gave a wedding for his son.)

³And he sent his servants to call men that were bidden to the weddings, and they would not come.

⁴Again he sent other servants, and said, Say to the men that be bidden to the feast, Lo! I have made ready my meat, (or Behold! I have prepared my food), my bulls and my volatiles, or my fat beasts, be slain, and all things be ready; come ye to the weddings.
