The King invites you

Matthew 22:9-14

1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him,‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Mateo 22:9-14

1 Y respondiendo Jesús, les volvió a hablar en parábolas, diciendo: 2 “El reino de los cielos es semejante a un rey que hizo bodas a su hijo,” 3 “y envió a sus siervos para que llamasen a los convidados a las bodas; mas no quisieron venir.” 4 “Volvió a enviar otros siervos, diciendo: Decid a los convidados: He aquí, mi comida he preparado, mis toros y animales engordados han sido muertos, y todo está preparado; venid a las bodas.” 5 “Pero ellos, lo tuvieron en poco, y se fueron, uno a su labranza, y otro a sus negocios;” 6 “y los otros, tomando a sus siervos, los afrentaron y los mataron.” 7 “Y oyéndolo el rey, se indignó; y enviando sus ejércitos, destruyó a aquellos homicidas, y puso a fuego su ciudad.” 8 “Entonces dijo a sus siervos: Las bodas a la verdad están preparadas; pero los que fueron convidados no eran dignos.” 9 “Id, pues, a las salidas de los caminos, y llamad a las bodas a cuantos halléis.” 10 “Y saliendo los siervos por los caminos, juntaron a todos los que hallaron, juntamente malos y buenos; y las bodas fueron llenas de convidados.” 11 “Y cuando el rey vino para ver a los convidados, vio allí a un hombre que no estaba vestido de boda,” 12 “y le dijo: Amigo, ¿cómo entraste acá sin estar vestido de boda? Mas él enmudeció.” 13 “Entonces el rey dijo a los que servían: Atadle de pies y manos, llevadle y echadle en las tinieblas de afuera; allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.” 14 “Porque muchos son llamados, pero pocos son escogidos.”
