New Testament

Matthew 22:6-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. The rest of them grabbed his servants, abused them, and killed them.

7. “The king was angry. He sent his soldiers to destroy those murderers and set their city on fire.

8. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding party is prepared, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

9. Therefore, go to the roads on the edge of town and invite everyone you find to the wedding party.’

10. “Then those servants went to the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding party was full of guests.

11. Now when the king came in and saw the guests, he spotted a man who wasn’t wearing wedding clothes.

12. He said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he was speechless.

13. Then the king said to his servants, ‘Tie his hands and feet and throw him out into the farthest darkness. People there will be weeping and grinding their teeth.’
