KJV:
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
NASB:
"And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.
KJV:
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
NASB:
"Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'
KJV:
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
NASB:
"Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
KJV:
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
NASB:
Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.'
KJV:

NASB:

And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
NASB:
and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless.

KJV:
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
NASB:
"Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.
KJV:
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
NASB:
"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him,
