Matthew 22:2-6

Rotherham(i) 2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king,––who made a marriage–feast for his son; 3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage–feast,––and they would not come. 4 Again, sent he other servants, saying––Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain,––and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage–feast. 5 And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise,–– 6 And, the rest, securing his servants, ill–treated and slew them.
