† Matching Up Matthew and Revelation †

The idea is that Matthew and revelation can be matched up sequentially by contiguous sections of text. Matthew 1 through 25 matches up with Revelation 1 through 22. There's one small place in Matthew that does not match anything in Revelation, see if you can find it.

[ 5 ] But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [ 6 ] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [ 7 ] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. [ 8 ] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [ 9 ] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the
