Мф. 22:1-14 1 Иисус, продолжая говорить им притчами, сказал: 2 Царство Небесное подобно человеку царю, который сделал брачный пир для сына своего 3 и послал рабов своих звать званых на брачный пир; и не хотели придти. 4 Опять послал других рабов, сказав: скажите званым: вот, я приготовил обед мой, тельцы мои и что откормлено, заколото, и все готово; приходите на брачный пир. 5 Но они, пренебрегши то, пошли, кто на поле свое, а кто на торговлю свою; 6 прочие же, схватив рабов его, оскорбили и убили их. 7 Услышав о сем, царь разгневался, и, послав войска свои, истребил убийц оных и сжег город их. 8 Тогда говорит он рабам своим: брачный пир готов, а званые не были достойны; 9 итак пойдите на распутия и всех, кого найдете, зовите на брачный пир. 10 И рабы те, выйдя на дороги, собрали всех, кого только нашли, и злых и добрых; и брачный пир наполнился возлежащими. 11 Царь, войдя посмотреть возлежащих, увидел там человека, одетого не в брачную одежду, 12 и говорит ему: друг! как ты вошел сюда не в брачной одежде? Он же молчал. 13 Тогда сказал царь слугам: связав ему руки и ноги, возьмите его и бросьте во тьму внешнюю; там будет плач и скрежет зубов; 14 ибо много званых, а мало избранных.

Matt. 22: 1-14 1 Jesus answered and spoke to them in parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 and sent forth his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage feast; and they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and everything is ready; Come to the wedding. 5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his farm, another to his merchandise; 6 And the rest, seizing his slaves, insulted and killed them. 7 On hearing about this, the king was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy; 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and everyone will find, call to the marriage. 10 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good; and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment, 12 and said to him: Friend, you come in here without a wedding garment? He was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth; 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
