Matt
22:1-14 (NIV) Jesus spoke to them again in parables,
saying: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a king
who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3
He sent his servants to those who had been invited
to the banquet to tell them to come, but they
refused to comeÉ. 8 "Then he said to his servants,
ÔThe wedding banquet is ready, but those
I invited did not deserve to come. 9 Go to the
street corners and invite to the banquet anyone
you find.Õ 10 So the servants went out into the
streets and gathered all the people they could find,
both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled
with guestsÉ.
