Matthew 22:1-14 Oct.
11, 2020
22:1 Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying:
22:2 "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding
banquet for his son.
22:3 He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding
banquet, but they would not come.
22:4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited:
Look, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been
slaughtered, and everything is ready; come to the wedding banquet.'
22:5 But they made light of it and went away, one to his farm, another to his
business,
22:6 while the rest seized his slaves, mistreated them, and killed them.
22:7 The king was enraged. He sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and
burned their city.
22:8 Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were
not worthy.
22:9 Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the
wedding banquet.'
22:10 Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found,
both good and bad; so the wedding hall was filled with guests.
22:11 "But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there
who was not wearing a wedding robe,
22:12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding
robe?' And he was speechless.
22:13 Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw
him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.'
22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen."
