The Parable of the Wedding Feast
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,
and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.
Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’
But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.
And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’
And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
