マタイによる福音書 22:12-14 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

The parable of the marriage feast. I. THE FIRST INVITATION . 1 . The King . This parable resembles the parable of the great supper in Luke 14:1-35 .; but it was delivered at a different time, under different circumstances. It differs also in its ending and in many of its details. It cannot possibly be, as some have thought, a mere variation of that parable. The King is God the Father, the Lord God omnipotent. He made a marriage for his Son. The marriage is the union between... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

The marriage feast. The opening of this parable reminds us of the feast of wisdom in the Book of Proverbs ( Proverbs 9:1-5 ). But there is an advance beyond the Old Testament ideas. Now the interest is no longer centred in the abstraction "wisdom," but the king and his son, representing God and Jesus Christ, make the feast one of supreme importance. So much the greater, then, must be the folly of those who decline to attend. I. THE ROYAL PREPARATIONS . Much must be done to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

The invitations of the gospel. The priests and elders having left in a rage, Jesus continued his discourse, addressing the people. This parable brings before us the invitation of the gospel, first to the Jew, and then also to the Gentile. Consider— I. THE INVITATION SPECIAL TO THE JEW . 1 . The blessings of the gospel are presented under the similitude of a marriage feast. 2 . Prophets and apostles are the King ' s messengers. 3 . But the favoured people... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:12

Friend ; ἑταῖρε , as Matthew 20:13 . It was thus that Christ addressed Judas in the garden ( Matthew 26:50 ). The term here has in it something of distrust and disapprobation. How camest thou in hither? The question may mean—How couldst thou presume to approach this solemn festival without the indispensable requisite? Or, how couldst thou elude the vigilance of the servants, and enter in this unseemly garb? The former is doubtless the signification of the inquiry. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:12

Wilfulness spoiling our blessings. "Not having a wedding garment." The incident is a distinctly Eastern one. So motley a crowd would be very out of place in a king's palace. It was not only kindly consideration which provided an all-covering, handsome robe for guests whose own clothes were shabby; it was a sense of appropriateness which required all the guests to be suitably arrayed. In treating this parable it should be kept in mind that he who gave the feast was a king, and so sent his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:13

The servants; τοῖς διακο ì νοις : ministers, or attendants— not the same as the servants ( δοῦλοι ) who originally carried out the invitations. They are not preachers, but the guards of the throne, meaning probably the ministering angels who execute the King's commands (see Matthew 13:41 .49). Bind him hand and foot. By hand and foot men sin, by these they are punished. All hope of escape is thus removed. There is no trial; the offence is too gross and evident to need any... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:14

Many are called … chosen. The rejected guest is a type of a numerous class (see Matthew 20:6 ). All the Jews had first been called; then all the Gentiles; many were they who obeyed not the call; and of those who did come in, many were not of the inner election, of those, that is, whose life and character were worthy of the Christian name, showing the graces of faith, holiness, and love. Applying the parable generally, Origen ( ap. I. Williams) says, "If any one will observe the populous... read more

Friend - Rather, “companions.” The word does not imply friendship.He was speechless - He had no excuse. So it will be with all hypocrites. read more

Cast him into outer darkness - See the notes at Matthew 8:12. This, without doubt, refers to the future punishment of the hypocrite, Matthew 23:23-33; Matthew 24:51. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:14

Many are called, but few are chosen - Our Saviour often uses this expression. It was probably proverbial. The Jews had been called, but few of them had been chosen to life. The great mass of the nation was wicked, and they showed by their lives that they were not chosen to salvation. The Gentiles also were invited to be saved, Isaiah 45:22. Nation after nation has been called; but few, few have yet showed that they were real Christians, the elect of God. It is also true that many who are in the... read more
