“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner;  my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.”’ But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them  spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out  his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not  worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ So those servants went out into the highways and  gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there  who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was  speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot,  take him away, and cast him  into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:1-14 - NKJV
