Matthew:22:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And answering ,
Jesus again spoke to them in parables ,
saying :
*
The kingdom of Heaven is compared to a man ,
a king ,
who made a wedding feast for his son .
*
And he sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast ,
but they did not desire to come .
*
Again ,
he sent other slaves ,
saying ,
Tell the ones invited ,
Behold ,
I have prepared my supper ;
my oxen ,
and the fatlings are killed ,
and all things ready ;
come to the wedding feast .
*
But not caring they went away ,
one to his own field ,
and one to his trading .
*
And the rest ,
seizing his slaves ,
insulted and killed them .
*
And hearing ,
the king became angry .
And sending his armies ,
he destroyed those murderers and burned their city .
*
Then he said to his slaves ,
Indeed ,
the wedding feast is ready ,
but those invited were not worthy .
*
Then go onto the exits of the highways and call to the wedding feast as many as you may find .
*
And going out into the highways ,
those slaves gathered all ,
as many as they found ,
both evil and good .
And the wedding feast was filled with reclining guests .
*
And the king coming in to look over those reclining ,
he saw a man there not having been dressed in a wedding garment .
*
And he said to him ,
Friend ,
how did you come in here ,
not having a wedding garment ?
But he was speechless .
*
Then the king said to the servants ,
Binding his feet and hands ,
take him away and throw him out into the outer darkness .
There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth .
*
For many are called ,
but few chosen .
