^22:2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

^22:2The Kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King, which made a marriage for his sonne,

^22:3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

^22:3And sent forth his seruants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come.

^22:4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

^22:4Againe, 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.

^22:6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

^22:7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

^22:7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth, and hee sent foorth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt vp their citie.

^22:8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

^22:9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

^22:9Goe yee therefore into the high wayes, and as many as yee shall finde, bid to the marriage.
