**The Parable of the Wedding Banquet: **
1Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4"Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.' 5"But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' 10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11"But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. 13"Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

**The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard: 1** "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. **2**He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. **6**About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
 * 3**"About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. **4**He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' **5**So they went.
 * 7**" 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered.
 * 8**"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'
 * 9**"The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. **10**So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. **11**When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. **12**'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
 * 13**"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? **14**Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. **15**Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
 * 16**"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
