And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.

The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,

and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.

But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].

And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

But *ye*, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all *ye* are brethren. And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens. Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ. But the greatest of you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.
