Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come.
A second time he sent other servants, saying, Tell those invited, Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fatted cattle are killed, everything is ready, come to the feast.
Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
And he said to his servants, the feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come.
The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment.
The king said to him, My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment? But he was reduced to silence.
Then the king said to his attendants, Bind his hands and feet, cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
So remember here, the context, Jesus is speaking to the chief priests and elders of the people.
The covenants that began all the way back with Adam and Eve, and then were continued through Abraham and Noah in the flood.
And even when the people would stray, God would remain faithful, bringing forth prophets, bringing forth judges, bringing forth leaders who would get the people back on track.
They refused, some went to other things, some ignored the invitation, and some actually got hostile.
