Matthew 22:8-14

The Parable of the Wedding Feast

⁸ Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not _z worthy. ⁹ Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.' ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the roads and _b gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

¹¹ "But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there _c a man who had no wedding garment. ¹² And he said to him, _d 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. ¹³ Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and _e cast him into the outer darkness. In that place _e there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' ¹⁴ For many are _f called, but few are _f chosen."
