Matthew:22:1 @
And Jesus answering ,
again spake to them in similes ,
saying ,
ylt @
Matthew:22:2 @'
The reign of the heavens was likened to a man ,
a king ,
who made marriage-feasts for his son ,
ylt @
Matthew:22:3 @
and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts ,
and they were not willing to come .
ylt @
Matthew:22:4 @'
Again he sent forth other servants ,
saying ,
Say to those who have been called :
Lo ,
my dinner I prepared ,
my oxen and the fatlings have been killed ,
and all things [
are ]
ready ,
come ye to the marriage-feasts ;
ylt @
Matthew:22:5 @
and they ,
having disregarded [
it ],
went away ,
the one to his own field ,
and the other to his merchandise ;
ylt @
Matthew:22:6 @
and the rest ,
having laid hold on his servants ,
did insult and slay [
them ].
ylt @
Matthew:22:7 @'
And the king having heard ,
was wroth ,
and having sent forth his soldiers ,
he destroyed those murderers ,
and their city he set on fire ;
ylt @
Matthew:22:8 @
then saith he to his servants ,
The marriage-feast indeed is ready ,
and those called were not worthy ,
ylt @
Matthew:22:9 @
be going ,
then ,
on to the cross-ways ,
and as many as ye may find ,
call ye to the marriage-feasts .
ylt @
Matthew:22:10 @'
And those servants ,
having gone forth to the ways ,
did gather all ,
as many as they found ,
both bad and good ,
and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining .
ylt @
Matthew:22:11 @'
And the king having come in to view those reclining ,
saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast ,
ylt @
Matthew:22:12 @
and he saith to him ,
Comrade ,
how didst thou come in hither ,
not having clothing of the marriage-feast ?
and he was speechless .
ylt @
Matthew:22:13 @'
Then said the king to the ministrants ,
Having bound his feet and hands ,
take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness ,
there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth ;
ylt @
Matthew:22:14 @
for many are called ,
and few chosen .'
