10.10.2020 Gospel Matthew Chapter 22

The Lord be with you.  

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

Jesus spoke to the chief priests and the elders of the people, and he told them this parable, "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gives a wedding banquet for his son. He sends his servants to call the invited guests, but they refuse to come. He sends other servants to again call the guests and he says, Everything is prepared. I have killed the fatted calf and the cattle. Come to the feast. So they went and again, they refused to come. One said he had to go off to his farm and another to his business. And the rest of them laid hold of the servants and they manhandled them and they killed them. 

Now when the king heard this, he was enraged. He sent his army to destroy those murderers and to burn down their town. And then he said to his servants, "Those who were invited were found to be unworthy. Go now and gather all from the streets and the alleys and the byways and bring them into the feast." And so they went out, they gathered all these people, both good and bad and brought them into the banquet hall. And the banquet hall was full.
