and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.

Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.

Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
