The guests at the marriage feast were inspected by the king. Only those were accepted who had obeyed his requirements and put on the wedding garment. So it is with the guests at the gospel feast. All must pass the scrutiny of the great King, and only those are received who have put on the robe of Christ's righteousness.

Gæsterne ved bryllupsfesten blev taget i øjesyn af kongen, og det var kun dem, der havde gjort, hvad han forlangte, og iført sig bryllupsklædningen, der fik lov at være med. Det samme gælder for evangeliets bryllupsfest. Alle må kunne bestå for den store konges forskende blik, og det er kun dem, der har iført sig Kristi retfærdigheds klædning, der vil kunne tage del.
