Matthew 22:6 Context
4Againe, hee sent foorth other seruants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner; my oxen, and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come vnto the marriage. 5But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, another to his merchandize: 6And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth, and hee sent foorth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt vp their citie. 8Then saith hee to his seruants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
