Matthew 22:2-13

2The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,

3And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.

4Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.

5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6And the remnant took his servants, and treated them spitefully, and slew them .

7But when the king heard of it, he was angry: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.

10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding garment:

12And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
