"But the people refused to listen to the servants and left to do other things. One went to work in his field, and another went to his business.
6
Some of the other people grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them.
7
The king was furious and sent his army to kill the murderers and burn their city.
8
"After that, the king said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready. I invited those people, but they were not worthy to come.
9
So go to the street corners and invite everyone you find to come to my feast.'
10
So the servants went into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11
"When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who was not dressed for a wedding.
12
The king said, 'Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not dressed for a wedding.' But the man said nothing.
13
So the king told some servants, 'Tie this man's hands and feet. Throw him out into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.'
14
"Yes, many people are invited, but only a few are chosen."
15
Then the Pharisees left that place and made plans to trap Jesus in saying something wrong.
