The Gospel of Luke, Minuscule 2444, 13th century

The Parable of the Wedding Feast is one of the parables of Jesus and appears in the New Testament in Luke 14:7-14. It is only found in the Gospel of Luke and directly precedes the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:15-24.[1][2] The parallel passage to Luke's Parable of the Great Banquet is set as a wedding feast Matthew 22:1-14. [3]

Luke 14:11 "every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted" is also found in Luke 18:14 and Matthew 23:12. It is similar to Matthew 18:4.[2]
