'Marriage feast' in the Bible
The kingdom of heaven is like a king that made a marriage feast for his son;
and sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the marriage feast; and they refused to come.
Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared 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 marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
Go, therefore, to the cross-ways, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.
'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.
'And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,
and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.
But, as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and, they who were ready, went in with him, into the marriage-feast, and, the door was locked.
and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
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,
And on the third day there was a marriagefeast in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
Then a voice said to me 'Write-- "Blessed are those who have been summoned to the marriage feast of the Lamb."' And the voice said-- 'These words of God are true.'
