Matthew 22:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ When the ·feast [banquet] was ready, the king sent his servants to ·tell [inform; call] the people who had been invited, but they refused to come.

⁴ “Then the king sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited that my ·feast [banquet] is ready. I have killed my best ·bulls [or oxen] and [^Lfattened] calves for the dinner, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding ·feast [banquet].’

⁵ “But the people ·refused to listen [paid no attention] to the servants and ·left to do other things [went their own way]. One went to ·work in his field [his field/farm], and another went to his business.
