22:1-14
Answering Jesus again spoke in parables to them
saying. “The kingdom of the heavens
is like a man, a king, who made a wedding feast for his son. He sent his slaves to call those who had
been invited to the feast but they did not want to come. Again he sent other slaves saying “Tell
the people who have been invited.
“Behold my supper has been prepared.
My oxen and the fatted beasts have been killed and everything is
ready. Come to the feast.” But they did not care and went off, one
to his own field, another to his trading and the rest, grabbing his slaves
insulted them and killed them. So
the king became angry and sending in his armies he destroyed those
murderers and he burned their city.
Then
he says to his slaves “Indeed the feast is
|
ready
but those who had been invited were not worthy. Go therefore into the crossroads and as
many as you find call them to the feast.”
And going out into the road ways the slaves assembled al those whom
they found, both the bad and good.
The wedding chamber was filled with people reclining. But on entering the king noticed amongst
them there was a man who had not been dressed in wedding clothes. He says to him. “Comrade, how is you have come here
without wedding clothes?” But he was
silent. Then the king said to the
servants. Bind him hands and feet
and throw him out into the darkness where there will be wailing and the
gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few are chosen.
