Lamsa(i)
1 AND Jesus answered again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a marriage-feast for his son.
3 And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage-feast, but they would not come.
4 Again he sent other servants and said, Tell those who are invited, Behold my supper is ready, and my oxen and fatlings are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the marriage- feast.
5 But they sneered at it, and went away, one to his field, another to his business;
6 And the rest seized his servants and insulted them, and killed them.
7 When the king heard it he was angry; and he sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, Now the marriage-feast is ready, and those who were invited were unworthy.
9 Go, therefore, to the main roads, and whomever you may find, invite them to the marriage- feast.
10 So the servants went out to the roads and gathered together every one they could find, bad and good; and the wedding-house was filled with guests.
11 When the king entered to see the guests, he saw there a man who was not wearing wedding garments.
12 And he said to him, My friend, how did you enter here, when you do not have wedding garments? And he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind his hands and his feet and take him out into darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are invited, and few are chosen.
