Matthew 22:4-14

Whiston(i) 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, tell them who we invited, Behold I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage feast. 5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, some to their field, and others to their merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and treated [them] injuriously, and slew [them]. 7 When the king heard [it], he was wroth: and he sent forth his army, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, the marriage feast is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the high-ways, and a many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. 10 So his Servants went out into the high-ways, and gathered together all those that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage feast was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to his servants, Take him by his hands and feet, and cast [him] into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, 14 For the called are many, but the chosen are few.
