The first passage below represents a group of people.
The second passage represents a different group of people.
The question is simple:
(1) Who in history is represented by the group in v2-7
(2) Who in history is represented by the group in v8-14
Mat 22:2-7
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a
marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that
were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 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. But they made light
of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully,
and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and
he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned
up their city.
Mat 22:8-14
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which
were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and
as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out
into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found,
both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And
when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had
not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest
thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him
away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.
