 22:3 Andº sent forthºº hisºº servantsº to callºº them that were biddenºº toº theº wedding:º andº they wouldºº notº come.ºº

 22:4 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

 22:4 Again,º he sent forthºº otherº servants,º saying,ºº Tellºº them which are bidden,ºº Behold,ºº I have preparedºº myº dinner:º myº oxenº andº [my] fatlingsº [are] killed,ºº andº all thingsº [are] ready:º comeºº untoº theº marriage.º

 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;

 22:5 Butº theyº made light ofºº [it], and went their ways,ºº oneºº toº hisº farm,ºº anotherººº toº hisºº merchandise:º

 22:6 and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

 22:6 Andº theº remnantº tookºº hisº servants,º and entreated [them] spitefully,ºº andº slewºº [them].

 22:7 But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

 22:12 Andº he saithºº unto him,º Friend,º howº camestº thouºº in hitherº notº havingºº a weddingº garment?º Andº heº was speechless.ºº

 22:13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

 22:13 Thenº saidºº theº kingº to theº servants,º Bindºº himº handº andº foot,º and takeºº himº away,ººº andº castºº [him] intoº outerº darkness;º thereº shall beºº weepingº andº gnashingº of teeth.º
