So those slaves went out into the highways and gathered together everyone that they found, both bad and good; and the wedding was filled with guests.
11
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding garment,
12
and he said unto him, Friend, how didst thou come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13
Then the king said to the slaves, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast
him into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

man, for thou art no respecter of persons of men.

18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness and said, Why tempt ye me,
ye hypocrites?
19
Show me the coin of the tribute. And they presented unto him a denarius.
