* The kingdom of the heavens is like a man , a king who made a wedding for his son . * And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities , and they did not want to come . * Again he sent forth other bondmen , saying , Speak to those who were invited , Behold , I have prepared my dinner . My oxen and my fatlings have been killed , and all things are ready . Come to the wedding festivities . * But having disregarded , they departed , one to his own farm , another to his merchandise , * and the others having seized his bondmen , abused and killed them . * But having heard that , the king was angry , and having sent forth his armies , he destroyed those murderers , and burned their city . * Then he says to his bondmen , The wedding is indeed ready , but those who were invited were not worthy . * Go ye therefore to the crossings of the ways , and as many as ye may find , call to the wedding festivities . * And those bondmen having departed into the roads , they gathered together all , as many as they found , both bad and good . And the wedding was filled with those who were dining . * But when the king came in to see those who were dining , he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment . * And he says to him , Friend , how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment ? But he was speechless . * Then the king said to the helpers , After binding him hands and feet , take him away and cast him out into the outer darkness . There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth .
