Matt 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. Matt 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: Matt 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. Matt 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Matt 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Matt 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. Matt 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matt 22:11 ¶And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: Matt 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Matt 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. for the new dress seemed to be ready for you when I saw you last.
