The Marriage Supper, Sir John Everett Millais, 1864.
When the king came in to look at the guests,
he saw there a man who had no wedding garment.
And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you
get in here without a wedding garment?’
And he was speechless.
St Matthew 22:2-3
The Twentieth Sunday after Trinity
Opening hymn: 3 Father, we praise thee
Our worship continues on page 1 of the liturgy booklets.
The Collect:Lord, we beseech thee, grantthypeople grace to avoid the infections of the devil and with pure hearts and minds to followtheethe only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
New Testament Lesson: Ephesians 5:15-21
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,making the best use of the time, becausethe days are evil.Therefore do not be foolish, but understand whatthe will of the Lord is.Anddo not get drunk with wine, for that isdebauchery, butbe filled with the Spirit,addressing one another inpsalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,giving thanks always and for everything to God the Fatherin the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Gradual Psalm 145:15-end
2nd part
15 The eyes of all wait upon ‘ thee O ’ Lord : and thou givest them their ’ meat in ’ due ’ season.

16 Thou openest ’ thine ’ hand : and fillest ’ all things ’ living with ’ plenteousness.
17 The Lord is righteous in ’ all his ’ ways : and ’ holy in ’ all his ’ works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that ’ call up’on him : yea all such as ’ call up’on him ’ faithfully.
19 He will fulfil the desire of ’ them that ’ fear him : he also will hear their ’cry ’ and will ’ help them.
20 The Lord preserveth all ’ them that ’ love him : but scattereth a’broad ’ all the un’godly.
2nd part
21 My mouth shall speak the ’ praise •of the ’ Lord : and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy ’ Name for ’ ever and ’ ever.
Glory be to the Father ’ and to • the ’ Son : and ’ to the ’ Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning is ’ now and • ever ’ shall be : world without ’ end. A ’— ’ men.
The Gospel:Matthew 22.1-14
Before the Gospel we sing: Glory be to thee, O Lord
Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants,
-3-
treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.”
After the Gospel we sing: Praise be to thee, O Christ
