² The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a feast when his son was married, ³ And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast. ⁵ But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade: ⁶ And the rest put violent hands on his servants, and did evil to them, and put them to death. ⁷ But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire. ⁸ Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough. ⁹ Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast. ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests. ¹¹ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe; ¹² And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say. ¹³ Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow. ¹⁴ For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.
