Matthew 22:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
5But they paid no attention and went their separate ways, one to his own farm, another to his business, 6and the rest seized his slaves and treated them abusively, and then killed them. 7Now the king was angry, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8Then he *said to his slaves, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9So go to the main roads, and invite whomever you find there to the wedding feast.’ 10Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.King James Version
Chapter 22
5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
5"But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business, 6while the rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. 7The king was enraged, and he sent out his troops, killed those murderers, and burned down their city.
8"Then he told his servants, 'The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9Go then to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet.'
10So those servants went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests.
11When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
5But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. 6Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them.
7The king was furious, and he sent out his army to destroy the murderers and burn their town.
8And he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, and the guests I invited aren’t worthy of the honor.
9Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see.’
10So the servants brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike, and the banquet hall was filled with guests.

5But they paid no attention and went off--one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.
9So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.'
10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
