Matthew 22:13
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
15 Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
