Disciples’ Literal New Testament
9 Therefore go to the outlets[a] of the roads, and invite all-that you find to the wedding-celebrations’. 10 And having gone out into the roads, those slaves gathered-together all whom they found, both evil[b] and good. And the wedding-hall was filled with ones reclining-back [to eat]. 11 And the king, having come in to see[c] the ones reclining-back [to eat], saw there a person not having dressed-in[d] the clothing of [e] a wedding.
