2 The sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human sovereign who makes a marriage for his son:
3 and he apostolizes his servants to call those bidden to the marriage: and they will to not come.
4 Again, he apostolizes other servants, wording, Tell those bidden, Behold, I prepared my dinner: my bulls and my fatlings are sacrificed and all are prepared: come to the marriage.
5 And they disregard, and go their ways: one indeed to his field; another to his merchandise;
6 and the rest overpower his servants and insult them and slaughter them.
7 And the sovereign hears, and he is wroth: and he sends his warriors and destroys those murderers and burns their city.
8 Then he words to his servants, The marriage is indeed prepared and they who are bidden are not worthy:
9 so go into the highways, and as many as ever you find, bid to the marriage.
10 And those servants go into the highways and gather all - as many as they find - both evil and good: and the marriage fills up with those reposing.
