Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 22:12-13

Matthew 22:12-13. Friend, how camest thou in hither How camest thou to presume to enter into my church, by taking upon thee a profession of my religion, and to sit down among the guests, or associate thyself with my disciples; not having on a wedding-garment? Not having put off the old man and put on the new, not being made a new creature, not having put on the Lord Jesus Christ in holy graces and moral virtues. “It is needless to dispute,” says Calvin, “about the wedding-garment, whether... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

124. The royal wedding feast (Matthew 22:1-14)Throughout the Old Testament period and into the New, God sent his messengers to Israel, but the people ignored his message. God was like a king who invited people to a wedding feast for his son, but when the time for the feast arrived, they refused to come (Matthew 22:1-5). This was a picture of the refusal of the Jews to accept Jesus’ message and enter the kingdom of God. Their rejection of Jesus would bring God’s judgment upon them and result in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 22:13

Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.This does not bestow inquisitorial rights on God's ministers in this dispensation. The exposure and punishment of that offender occurred at the arraignment before the king, not before. The servants in this verse therefore cannot be the apostles or ministers of the word, but the angels of God (13:47ff). The punishment refers to hell (Matthew... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:13

13. Then said the king to the servants—the angelic ministers of divine vengeance (as in :-). Bind him hand and foot—putting it out of his power to resist. and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness—So Matthew 8:12; Matthew 25:30. The expression is emphatic—"the darkness which is outside." To be "outside" at all—or, in the language of Matthew 25:30- :, to be "without" the heavenly city, excluded from its joyous nuptials and gladsome festivities—is sad enough of itself, without anything... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 22:1-14

The parable of the royal wedding banquet 22:1-14The three parables in this series are similar to three concentric circles in their scope. The scope of the parable of the two sons encompassed Israel’s leaders (Matthew 21:28-32). The parable of the wicked tenant farmers exposed the leaders’ lack of responsibility and their guilt to the people listening in as well as to the leaders themselves (Matthew 21:33-46). This last parable is the broadest of the three. It condemned the contempt with which... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 22:11-13

The man who did not wear the proper wedding garment was unprepared for the banquet. In that culture the proper wedding garment was just clean clothes. [Note: France, The Gospel . . ., pp. 826-27.] He was there, whether evil or good (Matthew 22:10), because he had accepted the king’s gracious invitation. However he was subject to the king’s scrutiny. The king addressed his guest as a friend. He asked how he had obtained admission without the proper (clean) garment. The man was speechless due to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:1-46

Parables of the Marriage of the King’s Son and the Wedding Garment1-14. Marriage of the King’s Son (peculiar to St. Matthew). Jesus concludes His discourse by reiterating in still clearer and stronger language the teaching of the last parable, viz. His Divine Sonship, the impending destruction of Jerusalem, the rejection of the Jews, and the call of the Gentiles. He concludes with a warning to the Gentiles not to abuse the mercy about to be extended to them, by appearing at the feast (i.e.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 22:13

(13) Take him away.—The words are wanting in many of the best MSS., and may have been inserted to meet the supposed difficulty of the man being simply “thrust out” after he had been bound hand and foot.Into outer darkness.—The description is reproduced from Matthew 8:12, and, in part also, from Matthew 13:50. (See Notes on those passages.) Here it is emphasized by the contrast between the bridal-chamber, with its lights, and mirth, and music, and the midnight darkness outside the palace, filled... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 22:1-46

The Frivolous Spirit Matthew 22:5 I. There are of course some things that every wise man will make light of. There are petty grievances in every lot. 'Think, sir,' said Dr. Johnson to a worrying friend, 'think, sir, how infinitely little that will seem a twelve-month hence.' It is an untold blessing to have a little vision and a little humour, and see things in their true sizes and proportions. There is a gentle art of making light. But it is the corruption of the best that is the worst: and... read more
