but they would not come. 4Again he sent other servants, saying, \u2018Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.\u2019 5But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants, \u2018The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.\u2019 10And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11\u201cBut when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; 12and he said to him, \u2018Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?\u2019 And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, \u2018Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness;
