Bible Verses About Feasts

They answered, "We saw very clearly that ADONAI has been with you; so we said, 'Let there be an oath between us: let's make a pact between ourselves and you

that you will not harm us, just as we have not caused you offense but have done you nothing but good and sent you on your way in peace. Now you are blessed by ADONAI.'"

Yitz'chak prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank.

Belshatzar the king gave a great banquet for a thousand of his lords, and in the presence of the thousand he was drinking wine.

While tasting the wine, Belshatzar ordered that the gold and silver vessels which his father N'vukhadnetzar had removed from the temple in Yerushalayim be brought; so that the king, his lords, his wives and his concubines could drink from them.

So they brought the gold vessels which had been removed from the sanctuary of the house of God in Yerushalayim; and the king, his lords, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

They drank their wine and praised their gods made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone.

Yeshua again used parables in speaking to them:

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

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

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!'

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

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

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

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

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

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.

"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,

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

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,

for many are invited, but few are chosen."

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

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

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.’

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