But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Note 2 at Mt. 22:5: We see that the real problem with those who were invited to the wedding banquet was neglect. The Greek word for "made light of" (Mt. 22:5) is "ameleo" and means "to be careless or to disregard." It is translated in the New Testament "to be negligent" one time, "make light of" one time, "neglect" two times and "regard not" one time. Hebrews 2:3 says, "How shall we reap, if we neglect so great salvation."
