And Jesus said to them, The sons of the wedding hall cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them. But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

The kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a king who made a wedding for his son.

And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.

Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.

Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding is indeed ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

Go ye therefore to the crossings of the ways, and as many as ye may find, call to the wedding festivities.

And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.

But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.

And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the wedding hall cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them. As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut.

And he said to them, Ye cannot make the sons of the wedding hall fast while the bridegroom is with them.

and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.

When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.

And the third day a wedding occurred in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.
