Some of us think that passage of scripture refers to spiritual adornment, not actual clothing.

It refers to a real tradition in those days that when you went to a wedding, often the host of the wedding would give ALL the guests a garnment to wear for the wedding. People back then, including Yeshua, expected to dress appropriately to the best of their ability. We should expect it now, but many don't.

Jesus was teaching with a parable, and it was meant to be taken figuratively.
