"But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; "
— Matthew 22:5, American Standard Version
“But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:”
“But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,”
“But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.”
“But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.”
“But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade:”
“But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:”
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
