Judges 11:29-39a
29Therefore, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jephthah, and circling around Gilead, and Manasseh, and also Mizpah of Gilead, and crossing from there to the sons of Ammon,
Psalm 39
5Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods. 6You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number. 7Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require. 8Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me: 9that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart. 10I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
Matthew 22:1-14
1And responding, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was king, who celebrated a wedding for his son. 3And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding. But they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell the invited: Behold, I have prepared my meal. My bulls and fatlings have been killed, and all is ready. Come to the wedding.’ 5But they ignored this and they went away: one to his country estate, and another to his business. 6Yet truly, the rest took hold of his servants and, having treated them with contempt, killed them. 7But when the king heard this, he was angry. And sending out his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding, indeed, has been prepared. But those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore, go out to the ways, and call whomever you will find to the wedding.’ 10And his servants, departing into the ways, gathered all those whom they found, bad and good, and the wedding was filled with guests. 11Then the king entered to see the guests. And he saw a man there who was not clothed in a wedding garment. 12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how is it that you have entered here without having a wedding garment?’ But he was dumbstruck. 13Then the king said to the ministers: ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
