Matthew 22:3-7

MLV(i) 3 and sent forth his bondservants to call to those who have been invited to the marriage-feast, and they were not willing to come. 4 Again he sent forth other bondservants, saying, Say to those who have been invited, Behold, I prepared my meal; my oxen and my fattened calves have been sacrificed, and all things are prepared. Come-here to the marriage-feast. 5 But they neglecting it, went away, one to his own field, another to his merchandise; 6 and the rest took-hold of his bondservants, and abused them and killed them. 7 And that king, having heard it, was angry, and he having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers and incinerated their city.
