Matthew 22:9-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. So go to the street corners and invite everyone you see. Tell them to come to my feast.’

10. So the servants went into the streets. They gathered all the people they could find, good and bad alike, and brought them to where the wedding feast was ready. And the place was filled with guests.

11. “When the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in the right clothes for a wedding.

12. The king said, ‘Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not wearing the right clothes.’ But the man said nothing.

13. So the king told some servants, ‘Tie this man’s hands and feet. Throw him out into the darkness, where people are crying and grinding their teeth with pain.’

14. “Yes, many people are invited. But only a few are chosen.”
