7
The king was very angry; so he sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city.
8
Then he called his servants and said to them, "My wedding feast is ready, but the people I invited did not deserve it.
9
Now go to the main streets and invite to the feast as many people as you find.'
10
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, good and bad alike; and the wedding hall was filled with people.

12
"Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' the king asked him. But the man said nothing.
13
