The parable describes a king who prepares a wedding banquet for his son. He invites guests but they refuse to come. He sends servants to tell them the banquet is ready, but the guests ignore and mistreat the servants. The king destroys the city of the murderers. He tells servants to invite anyone they find to the banquet. A man comes without wedding clothes and is thrown out into darkness. The parable conveys that many are invited to God's kingdom but few are chosen.
