Bible Verses About The Christ Jesus

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,

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,
