emtv - Matthew:22:1-14

emtv@Matthew:22:1 @ And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

emtv@Matthew:22:2 @ "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a wedding for his son,

emtv@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they did not want to come.

emtv@Matthew:22:4 @ Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Say to 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."'

emtv@Matthew:22:5 @ "But not caring, they went away, one to his own field, another to his business.

emtv@Matthew:22:6 @ And the rest seized his servants, mistreated [them], and killed [them].

emtv@Matthew:22:7 @ And when that king heard, he was furious. And he sent out his troops, and he destroyed those murderers, and he burned up their city.

emtv@Matthew:22:8 @ Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

emtv@Matthew:22:9 @ Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'

emtv@Matthew:22:10 @ "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.

emtv@Matthew:22:11 @ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there not dressed with wedding clothes.

emtv@Matthew:22:12 @ So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not having wedding clothes?' And he was speechless.

emtv@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the servants, 'Tie him up hands and feet, take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

emtv@Matthew:22:14 @ "For many are called, but few are chosen."
