Mathewu 22:1-14

UJesu waphinda wakhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso, wathi. Umbuso wezulu ufana nenkosi ethile, eyayenzela indodana yayo umshado; Wathuma izinceku zakhe ukuba zibize abamenyiweyo emtshadweni, kepha abavumanga ukuza. Waphinda wathuma ezinye izinceku, wathi: ‘Tshelani abamenyiweyo ukuthi: Bhekani, sengilungisile isidlo sami, izinkabi zami nokukhuluphalisiweyo sekuhlatshiwe, konke sekulungisiwe; Kodwa kabananzanga, basuka, omunye waya ensimini yakhe, omunye waya entengweni yakhe. Abaseleyo bazibamba izinceku zakhe, baziphatha kabi, bazibulala. Kodwa inkosi yathukuthela yathukuthela, yasithuma amabutho ayo, abhubhisa labobabulali, atshisa umuzi wabo. Khona yathi ezincekwini zayo: “Umshado usulungile, kepha abamenyiweyo bebengafanele. Ngakho hambani niye ezindleleni, nibizele emshadweni bonke eningabafumana; Lezozinceku zaphuma zaya ezindleleni, zabutha bonke ezabafumanayo, ababi nabahle; umshado wagcwala abahlezi ekudleni. Kwathi inkosi ingena ukukhangela ababehlezi ekudleni, yabona khona umuntu owayeyembethe isembatho somtshado. Wasesithi kuye: Mngane, ungene njani lapha ungelasembatho somtshado? Wathula wathula. Inkosi yathi ezincekwini: ‘Mbopheni izinyawo nezandla, nimkhiphe, nimkhiphe ebumnyameni obungaphandle; lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla amazinyo. Ngokuba baningi ababiziweyo, kepha bayingcosana abakhethiweyo.
