Matthew 22:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ He asked many people to come. When the meal was ready, he sent his servants out to tell those people to come. But they refused to come.

⁴ So the king then sent out other servants. He said to them, “Tell this message to all those people that I have asked to come. Tell them that the master says, ‘My servants have prepared the meal. They have killed my large oxen and some fat young cows to eat. Everything is ready. Now come to the marriage party!’ ”

⁵ But the people did not think that the king's message was important. They went away to do their own work. One man went to his farm and another man went to his business.
