The Wedding

 

And God said,

Let there be light:

and there was light.

And God saw the light,

that it was good:

and God divided the light - from the darkness.

***

And Emmanuel answered - and spake unto them again by parables,

and said,

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,

***

And Cain knew his wife;

and she conceived,

and bare Enoch:

and he builded a city,

and called the name of the city,

after the name of his son,

Enoch.

***

which made a marriage for his son,

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding:

and they would not come.

Again,

he sent forth other servants,

***

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,

than a stalled ox - and hatred therewith.

***

saying,

Tell them which are bidden,

Behold,

I have prepared my dinner:

my oxen - and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready:

come unto the marriage.

***

And Lot went out,

and spake unto his sons - in law, which married his daughters,

***

But there went up a mist from the earth,

and watered the whole face of the ground.

***

and said,

Up,

get you out of this place;

for the Lord will destroy this city.

But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

***

But they made light of it,

and went their ways,

one to his farm,

another to his merchandise:

And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully,

***

And Cain talked with Abel his brother:

and it came to pass,

when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother,

and slew him.

***

and slew them.

But when the king heard thereof,

he was wroth:

and he sent forth his armies,

and destroyed those murderers,

and burned up their city.

Then saith he to his servants,

The wedding is ready,

but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Go ye therefore into the highways,

and as many as ye shall find,

bid to the marriage.

So those servants went out into the highways,

***

And God said,

Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place,

and let the dry land appear:

and it was so.

***

and gathered together all as many as they found,

both bad - and good:

and the wedding was furnished with guests.
