Matthew 22:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ And he sent his slaves to summon those who had been invited to the wedding celebration, and they did not want to come. ⁴ Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding celebration!”’ ⁵ But they paid no attention and^[a] went away—this one to his own field, that one to his business.
