Gospel of Matthew presents the Parable of the Wedding Banquet

The Gospel of Matthew (22:1-14) presents the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, which describes a king celebrating his son's wedding. After initial guests refused the invitation to attend to their own business or mistreated the king's messengers, the king commanded his servants to invite everyone found at the crossroads, both good and bad.

The narrative concludes with the king discovering a guest not wearing wedding attire, leading to the guest's removal. The passage emphasizes the theme that while many are called, few are chosen.
