Matthew 22:5-15

5 "They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;
6 and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.
7 So the king's anger was stirred, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, "`The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.
9 Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'
10 "So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.
11 "Now the king came in to see the guests; and among them he discovered one who was not wearing a wedding-robe.
12 "`My friend,' he said, `how is it that you came in here without a wedding robe?'
13 "The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "`Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'
14 "For there are many called, but few chosen."
15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.
