Matthew Chapter 22 Verse 6‹And the remnant took his servants, and entreated› [them] ‹spitefully, and slew› [them].

Jesus saith unto them, ‹Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?›

‹Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.›

‹And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.›

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

‹The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,›

‹And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.›

‹Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and› [my] ‹fatlings› [are] ‹killed, and all things› [are] ‹ready: come unto the marriage.›

‹But they made light of› [it], ‹and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:›

‹But when the king heard› [thereof], ‹he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.›

‹Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.›

‹Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.›

‹So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.›

‹And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:›

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

‹Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast› [him] ‹into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.›

‹For many are called, but few› [are] ‹chosen.›

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.

And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person of men.
