asv Matthew:22:1-14
asv@Matthew:22:1 @And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,
asv@Matthew:22:2 @The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
asv@Matthew:22:3 @and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
asv@Matthew:22:4 @Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
asv@Matthew:22:5 @But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
asv@Matthew:22:6 @and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
asv@Matthew:22:7 @But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
asv@Matthew:22:8 @Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
asv@Matthew:22:9 @Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.
asv@Matthew:22:10 @And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
asv@Matthew:22:11 @But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:
asv@Matthew:22:12 @and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
asv@Matthew:22:13 @Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
asv@Matthew:22:14 @For many are called, but few chosen.
