10 Ces serviteurs allèrent dans les chemins, rassemblèrent tous ceux qu’ils trouvèrent, méchants et bons, et la salle des noces fut pleine de convives.

11 Le roi entra pour voir ceux qui étaient à table, et il aperçut là un homme qui n’avait pas revêtu un habit de noces.

12 Il lui dit: Mon ami, comment es-tu entré ici sans avoir un habit de noces? Cet homme eut la bouche fermée.

13 Alors le roi dit aux serviteurs: Liez-lui les pieds et les mains, et jetez-le dans les ténèbres du dehors,où il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.

14 Caril y a beaucoup d’appelés, mais peu d’élus.
