And he sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come.

Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with reclining guests.

And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

And you yourselves be like men who wait for their lord, whenever he shall return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

When you are invited by anyone to a wedding, do not recline in the chief seat, lest a more honorable man than you may be invited by him.
