"After taking out all that are his own, he goes on ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice."  John 10:4

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son, 

3 but when he sent his slaves to summon the invited guests to the wedding, they refused to come. 

4 So he sent some more slaves, instructing them to tell the guests, `Look, I've prepared my banquet, I've slaughtered my bulls and my fattened cattle, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding!' 

5 But they weren't interested and went off, one to his farm, another to his business; 

6 and the rest grabbed his slaves, mistreated them and killed them. 

7 The king was furious and sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city. 

8 "Then he said to his slaves, `Well, the wedding feast is ready; but the ones who were invited didn't deserve it. 

9 So go out to the street-corners and invite to the banquet as many as you find.' 

10 The slaves went out into the streets, gathered all the people they could find, the bad along with the good; and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 

11 "Now when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who wasn't dressed for a wedding; so he asked him, 

12 `Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. 

13 Then the king said to the servants, `Bind him hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark!' In that place people will wail and grind their teeth, 

14 for many are invited, but few are chosen."

16 But he replied, "Once a man gave a banquet and invited many people. 

17 When the time came for the banquet, he sent his slave to tell those who had been invited, `Come! Everything is ready!' 

18 But they responded with a chorus of excuses. The first said to him, `I've just bought a field, and I have to go out and see it. Please accept my apologies.' 

19 Another said, `I've just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to test them out. Please accept my apologies.' 

20 Still another said, `I have just gotten married, so I can't come.' 

21 The slave came and reported these things to his master. "Then the owner of the house, in a rage, told his slave, `Quick, go out into the streets and alleys of the city; and bring in the poor, the disfigured, the blind and the crippled!' 

22 The slave said, `Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.' 

23 The master said to the slave, `Go out to the country roads and boundary walls, and insistently persuade people to come in, so that my house will be full. 

24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!'"
