Jesus said to them, "Can wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But a time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and they will fast then.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a king, who gave a wedding banquet for his son.

But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw among them a man who did not have on wedding clothes.

And he said to him, 'My friend, how did you happen to come here without wedding clothes?' But he had nothing to say.

But while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom arrived, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was closed.
