ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not sit down in the uppermost place, least one more honorable than thou be invited by him;

And Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.

saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding-feast for his son;

and sent his servants to call those that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.

Then he sent other servants, saying, Tell them that are invited, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the wedding.

go therefore into the public streets, and as many as ye meet with invite to the wedding.

And those servants went out into the high-ways, and brought in all they met with, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.

But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man that had not put on a wedding-garment, and saith to him,

Friend, how camest thou in here without a wedding-garment? and he was struck speechless.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.
