The Parable of the Wedding Banquet
2 “The kingdom of heaven is
like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for
his son.
3 He sent his servants to those who had
been invited to
the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more
servants and said, ‘Tell
those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and
fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to
the
wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention
and went off—one to his
field, another to his business.
6 The rest seized his servants,
mistreated them and
killed them.
7 The king was enraged. He sent his army
and destroyed
those murderers and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his
servants, ‘The wedding banquet
is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
9 Go to the street corners and invite to
the banquet
anyone you find.’
10 So the servants went out into
the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and
bad, and
the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to
see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding
clothes.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked,
‘how did you
get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the
attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside,
into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are invited, but
few are chosen.”
