The Parable of the Wedding Banquet<\/span><\/h3>\n

22<\/span>Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:<\/span> 2<\/sup>The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.<\/span><\/span> 3<\/sup>He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4<\/sup>Then he sent some more servants and said, Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5<\/sup>But they paid no attention and went offone to his field, another to his business.<\/span><\/span> 6<\/sup>The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.<\/span><\/span> 7<\/sup>The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

8<\/sup>Then he said to his servants, The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.<\/span><\/span> 9<\/sup>So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.<\/span><\/span> 10<\/sup>So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

11<\/sup>But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.<\/span><\/span> 12<\/sup>He asked, How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend? The man was speechless.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

13<\/sup>Then the king told the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

14<\/sup>For many are invited, but few are chosen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
