Matthew 22:2-14
“ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son.He sent out his slaves to summon those invited to the banquet, but they didn’t want to come.Again, he sent out other slaves, and said,‘ Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’“ But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business.And the others seized his slaves, treated them outrageously and killed them.The king was enraged, so he sent out his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned down their city.“ Then he told his slaves,‘ The banquet is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.Therefore go to where the roads exit the city and invite everyone you find to the banquet.’So those slaves went out on the roads and gathered everyone they found, both evil and good. The wedding banquet was filled with guests.But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.So he said to him,‘ Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.“ Then the king told the attendants,‘ Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’“ For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

Isaiah 55:1-7
“ Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!Why do you spend money on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.Pay attention and come to Me; listen, so that you will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the promises assured to David.Since I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples,so you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel, has glorified you.”Seek the Lord while He may be found; call to Him while He is near.Let the wicked one abandon his way and the sinful one his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, so He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will freely forgive.

Jeremiah 31:12-14
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant with joy because of the Lord’s goodness, because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil, and because of the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer grow weak from hunger.Then the young woman will rejoice with dancing, while young and old men rejoice together. I will turn their mourning into joy, give them consolation, and bring happiness out of grief.I will refresh the priests with an abundance, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness. This is the Lord’s declaration.

Luke 14:16-24
Then He told him:“ A man was giving a large banquet and invited many.At the time of the banquet, he sent his slave to tell those who were invited,‘ Come, because everything is now ready.’“ But without exception they all began to make excuses. The first one said to him,‘ I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’“ Another said,‘ I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m going to try them out. I ask you to excuse me.’“ And another said,‘ I just got married, and therefore I’m unable to come.’“ So the slave came back and reported these things to his master. Then in anger, the master of the house told his slave,‘ Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in here the poor, maimed, blind, and lame!’“‘ Master,’ the slave said,‘ what you ordered has been done, and there’s still room.’“ Then the master told the slave,‘ Go out into the highways and lanes and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will enjoy my banquet!’”
