9 Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
