*
And answering the Jesus again said to them in parables ,
saying :
*
Has been likened the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king ,
who made marriage
feasts to the son of him ,
*
and he sent the slaves of him ,
to call the having been invited to the marriage
feasts ;
and not they would to come .
*
Again he sent other slaves ,
saying :
Say to the having been called ;
Lo ,
the dinner of me I prepared ;
the bullocks of me and the fatlings having been killed ,
and all (
things )
ready ,
come to the marriage
feasts .
*
They but neglecting went away ;
he indeed to the own field ,
he and to the traffic of him .
*
The and remainder having seized the slaves of him ,
insulted and killed .
*
Having heard and the king ,
was wroth ;
and having sent the armies of him ,
destroyed the murderers those ,
and the city of them burned .
*
Then he says to the slaves of him ;
the indeed marriage
feast ready is ,
they but having been called not were worthy .
*
Go you therefore to the outlets of the ways ,
and whoever you may find ,
call you to the marriage
feasts .
*
And having gone forth the slaves those into the ways ,
they brought together all ,
as many as they found ,
bad ones both and good ones ;
and was filled the marriage
feast of reclining ones .
*
Having entered and the king to see the reclining ones ,
saw there a man not having been clothed a garment of marriage ;
*
and he says to him :
Friend ,
how didst thou enter here ,
not having a garment of marriage ?
He but was struck speechless .
*
Then said the king to the servants :
Having bound of him feet and hands ,
take him ,
and cast into the darkness the outer ;
there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth .
*
Many for are called ,
few but picked out .
