Matthew 22:8-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy.^{(A) 9} Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.’ ¹⁰ Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad, so the wedding hall was filled with guests.^(B)

¹¹ “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding robe,^{(C) 12} and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding robe?’ And he was speechless.^(D)
