Matt. 22:2‑14• 2The kingdom of the heavens is likened to a king which made a marriage-feast for his son,
 3and sent forth his bondmen to call those who had been called to the marriage-feast; and they would not come.
 4Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Tell those that have been called, Behold, my dinner I have made ready: mine oxen and my fatlings are slaughtered; and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage-feast.
 5But they slighted [it] and went off, one to his own land, another to his traffic;
 6and the rest, seizing his bondmen, insulted and killed [them].
 7And the king was wroth and, sending his troops, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
 8Then saith he to his bondmen, The marriage-feast is ready, but those that were called were not worthy.
 9Go therefore unto the outlets of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call to the marriage-feast.
 10And those bondmen went out to the roads, and gathered together all as many as they found, both wicked and good; and the marriage-feast was filled with guests.
 11And the king on coming in to behold the guests saw there a man not clothed with a marriage-garment;
 12and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a marriage-garment? But he was speechless.
 13Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
 14For many are called, but few chosen. (Matt. 22:2‑14)
• The fatted calf and the merriment set forth the gladness of heaven and the Father’s joy in particular. The son had been dead morally and spiritually but now he was as one risen into a new life. (“Luke 15” by F.B. Hole)
