scatter{G3039} him{G846} as dust.{G3039} 45 And{G2532} when{G191} the chief priests{G749} and{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} heard{G191} his{G846} parables,{G3850} they perceived{G1097} that{G3754} he spake{G3004} of{G4012} them.{G846} 46 And{G2532} when they sought{G2212} to lay hold on{G2902} him,{G846} they feared{G5399} the multitudes,{G3793} because{G1894} they took{G2192} him{G846} for{G5613} a prophet.{G4396} 1 And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} answered{G611} and spake{G2036} again{G3825} in{G1722} parables{G3850} unto them,{G846} saying,{G3004} 2 The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is likened unto{G3666} a certain{G444} king,{G935} who{G3748} made{G4160} a marriage{G1062} feast for{G5207} his{G846} son,{G5207} 3 and{G2532} sent forth{G649} his{G846} servants{G1401} to call{G2564} them that were bidden{G2564} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast: and{G2532} they would{G2309} not{G3756} come.{G2064} 4 Again{G3825} he sent forth{G649} other{G243} servants,{G1401} saying,{G3004} Tell{G2036} them that are bidden,{G2564} Behold,{G2400} I have made ready{G2090} my{G3450} dinner;{G712} my{G3450} oxen{G5022} and{G2532} my fatlings{G4619} are killed,{G2380} and{G2532} all things{G3956} are ready:{G2092} come{G1205} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast. 5 But{G1161} they made light of{G272} it, and went their ways,{G565} one{G3588} to{G1519} his{G2398} own farm,{G68} another{G3588} to{G1519} his{G2398} merchandise;{G1711} 6 and{G1161} the rest{G3062} laid{G2902} hold on his{G846} servants,{G1401} and{G2532} treated them shamefully,{G5195} and{G2532} killed{G615} them. 7 But{G1161} the{G191} king{G935} was wroth;{G3710} and{G2532} he sent{G3992} his{G846} armies,{G4753} and{G2532} destroyed{G622} those{G1565} murderers,{G5406} and{G2532} burned{G1714} their{G846} city.{G4172} 8 Then{G5119} saith he{G3004} to{G1401} his{G846} servants,{G3303} The wedding{G1062} is{G2076} ready,{G2092} but{G1161} they that were bidden{G2564} were{G2258} not{G3756} worthy.{G514} 9 Go ye{G4198} therefore{G3767} unto{G1909} the{G1327} partings of the highways,{G3598} and{G2532} as many{G3745} as{G302} ye shall find,{G2147} bid{G2564} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062} feast. 10 And{G2532} those{G1565} servants{G1401} went out{G1831} into{G1519} the highways,{G3598} and gathered together{G4863} all{G3956} as many as{G3745} they found,{G2147} both{G5037} bad{G4190} and{G2532} good:{G18} and{G2532} the wedding{G1062} was filled{G4130} with guests.{G345} 11 But{G1161} when{G1525} the king{G935} came in{G1525} to behold{G2300} the guests,{G345} he saw{G1492} there{G1563} a man{G444} who had{G1746} not{G3756} on{G1746} a wedding-{G1062} garment:{G1062} 12 and{G2532} he saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Friend,{G2083} how{G4459} camest thou in{G1525} hither{G5602} not{G3361} having{G2192} a{G1742} wedding-{G1062} garment?{G1742} And{G1161} he was speechless.{G5392} 13 Then{G5119} the king{G935} said{G2036} to the servants,{G1249} Bind{G1210} him{G846} hand{G5495} and{G2532} foot,{G4228} and cast{G1544} him out into{G1519} the outer{G1857} darkness;{G4655} there{G1563} shall be{G2071} the weeping{G2805} and{G2532} the gnashing{G1030} of teeth.{G3599} 14 For{G1063} many{G4183} are{G1526} called,{G2822} but{G1161} few{G3641} chosen.{G1588}
