Matthew 22:6-13 English Revised Version (ERV)

6. and the rest laid hold on his servants, and entreated them shamefully, and killed them.

7. But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.

9. Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast.

10. And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.

11. But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding-garment:

12. and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.

13. Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
