St Matthew 22:1-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. AND Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:

2. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.

3. And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage; and they would not come.

4. Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage.

5. But they neglected, and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise.

6. And the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
