dby@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
dby@Matthew:22:2 @ The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
dby@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
dby@Matthew:22:4 @ Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
dby@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
dby@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
dby@Matthew:22:7 @ And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
dby@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
dby@Matthew:22:9 @ go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
dby@Matthew:22:10 @ And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
dby@Matthew:22:11 @ And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
dby@Matthew:22:12 @ And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
dby@Matthew:22:13 @ Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
dby@Matthew:22:14 @ For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
