Matthew. CH. XXII. 1-14. And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and _my_ fatlings _are_ killed, and all things _are_ ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of _it_, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise. 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated _them_ spitefully, and slew _them_. 7 But when the king heard _thereof_, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast _him_ into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(238) 14 For many are called, but few _are_ chosen. § 118.
