² The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son ³ And sent his servants to summon those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they refused to come. ⁴ Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my banquet; my bullocks and my fat calves are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the wedding feast. ⁵ But they were not concerned and paid no attention and they went away--one to his farm, another to his business, ⁶ While the others seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and put them to death. ⁷ the king was infuriated; and he sent his soldiers and put those murderers to death and burned their city. ⁸ Then he said to his servants, The wedding is prepared, but those invited were not worthy. ⁹ So go to the thoroughfares where they leave the city and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find. ¹⁰ And those servants went out on the crossroads and got together as many as they found, both bad and good, so the wedding feast was filled with guests. ¹¹ But when the king came in to view the guests, he looked intently at a man there who had on no wedding garment. ¹² And he said, Friend, how did you come in here without putting on the wedding garment? And he was speechless (muzzled, gagged). ¹³ Then the king said to the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. ¹⁴ For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen.
