Matthew 22.1-14
The Great Banquet

Once again Jesus used stories to teach the people: The kingdom of
heaven is like what happened when a king gave a wedding banquet for
his son. The king sent some servants to tell the invited guests to
come to the banquet, but the guests refused. He sent other servants
to say to the guests, "The banquet is ready! My cattle and prize
calves have all been prepared. Everything is ready. Come to the
banquet!" But the guests did not pay any attention. Some of them left
for their farms, and some went to their places of business. Others
grabbed the servants, then beat them up and killed them. This made the
king so furious that he sent an army to kill those murderers and burn
down their city. Then he said to the servants, "It is time for the
wedding banquet, and the invited guests don't deserve to come. Go out
to the street corners and tell everyone you meet to come to the
banquet." They went out on the streets and brought in everyone they
could find, good and bad alike. And the banquet room was filled with
guests. When the king went in to meet the guests, he found that one of
them wasn't wearing the right kind of clothes for the wedding. The
king asked, "Friend, why didn't you wear proper clothes for the
wedding?" But the guest had no excuse. So the king gave orders for
that person to be tied hand and foot and to be thrown outside into the
dark. That's where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain. Many
are invited, but only a few are chosen."

God bless you.
