John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:5

Verse 5 We must now consider that part of doctrine which is conveyed both by Matthew and by Luke. One went to his field, and another to his merchandise; or, as Luke expresses it, one pleaded that he had married a wife; another that he had purchased a field; and another that he had bought five yoke of oxen. By these words Christ pronounces the Jews to have been so entirely devoted to the world and to earthly things, that no man found leisure to approach to God; for the cares of this world, when... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:7

Verse 7 7.But when the king heard it. This punishment is mentioned by Matthew alone; for Luke makes no mention of any outrage committed on the servants. Both concur in stating, that those who did not come at the appointed time were shut out, and deprived of the honor of being present at the banquet. But this doctrine applies equally to us; for the same destruction which Christ denounces against the Jews awaits all the ungodly, who violently oppose the ministers of the Gospel. Those who are so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:1-13

Excuses. I. One of the commonest excuses which men make to themselves for not accepting God's salvation is THE DESIRE TO MAKE SOME KIND OF PREPARATION FOR COMING TO CHRIST , "How can I come, who have no conviction of sin, no deep repentance, no earnestness?" But uniformly in God's Word salvation is offered to men as they are. " Now " is God's accepted time. And the reason is obvious. The salvation offered in Christ is the one thing that can make us any better.... read more

Parable of the marriage of the king ' s son. (Peculiar to St. Matthew.) read more

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 22:3

Sent forth his servants. In the East, the original invitation to a solemn festivity is followed by reminders as the day approaches (comp. Esther 5:8 ; Esther 6:14 ). The servants here are John the Baptist, the twelve apostles, the seventy, who first preached the gospel to the Jewish people. Them that were bidden. The Jews had already been invited to come in; to them already belonged "the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants … and the promises" ( Romans 9:1 ). These early... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:3

Man's ill-grounded wilfulness. "And they would not come." There is nothing more to be said about it. They had no reasons. They offered no apologies, and no excuses. They were just wilful, stubborn, stupid; they had taken up with some unreasoning and unreasonable prejudice, and they "would not come." Dods points out that the "object of this parable is still the same (as of the previous parables), to set in a vivid light the guilt of the Jewish leaders in rejecting Christ, and the punishment... read more

Other servants. The apostles and their immediate followers after the death and resurrection of Christ, and the effusion of the Holy Ghost. A fresh call was mercifully given with new graces and new degrees of revelation. My dinner ( το Ì ἀ ì ριστο ì ν μου ).
