In context
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:
12 And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
