Matthew 22 : 1 - 14
Chapter 22
| 1 | And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: |
| 2 | "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, |
| 3 | and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. |
| 4 | Again, he sent out other servants, saying, "Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."' |
| 5 | But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. |
| 6 | And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. |
| 7 | But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. |
| 8 | Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. |
| 9 | Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' |
| 10 | So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. |
| 11 | "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. |
| 12 | So he said to him, "Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. |
| 13 | Then the king said to the servants, "Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' |
| 14 | "For many are called, but few are chosen." |
