    1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,

    2The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who prepared a wedding for his son,

    3And sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come.

    4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and fattened cattle are slaughtered, and everything is ready: come to the wedding.

    5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business:

    6And the rest seized his servants, mistreated them spitefully, and killed them.

    7But when the king heard about it, he was angry: and he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

    8Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

    9Go therefore into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.

    10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.

    11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

    12And he said to him, Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

    13Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
