MATTHEW 22:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.”
Then the king said to the attendants: bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The outer darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth — the judgment image from Matthew 8:12 and 13:42 — is the destination of the one who entered the feast without the wedding garment. The parable's third movement addresses those who accept the invitation outwardly but do not receive the transformation that the invitation requires.
