web - Matthew:22:1-14

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

web@Matthew:22:2 @ "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

web@Matthew:22:3 @ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

web@Matthew:22:4 @ Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!"'

web@Matthew:22:5 @ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

web@Matthew:22:6 @ and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

web@Matthew:22:7 @ When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

web@Matthew:22:8 @ "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

web@Matthew:22:9 @ Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'

web@Matthew:22:10 @ Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

web@Matthew:22:11 @ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing,

web@Matthew:22:12 @ and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

web@Matthew:22:13 @ Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

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