Matthew 22:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
In context
1 Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4 Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
