マタイの福音書 22:9-10 JCB

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 22:9

The highways; τα Ì ς διεξο ì δους τῶν ὁδῶν : exitus viarum ; the partings, or outlets of the ways. The places where roads meet, beyond the city bounds in the country, which would naturally be a centre of concourse. The city where the marriage feast was now held is not named, because it is no longer Jerusalem, but somewhere, anywhere, in the Gentile world; for the call of the Gentiles is here set forth. As many as ye shall find. The invitation is no longer confined... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:9

The free invitation of the gospel. There is an immediate reference to those whom our Lord addressed in this parable. He was speaking to men who prided themselves on being in the special favour of God—God's invited guests. Our Lord was bringing home to their hearts the consequences of the Jewish neglect of God's last invitation. 1 . The Jews, as a nation, must be destroyed. 2 . The Gentiles, as individuals, must be drawn into the Divine favour. Those Jews had conceived that the Divine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:10

Highways; ὁδου Ì ς : the roads. Not "the partings of the ways," whither they had been ordered to go. Some see here an intimation of the imperfection of the work of human agents; but it is very doubtful if any such allusion is intended. More probably τα Ì ς ὁδου Ì ς is only a synonym for τα Ì ς διεξο ì δους τῶν ὁδῶν . Both bad and good. The visible Church contains a mixed company, as Christ indicated by more than one parable; e.g. the draw net,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:9

The highways - Literally, the “exit” or “going out” of the “paths or roads.” It means the square or principal street, into which a number of smaller streets enter; a place, therefore, of confluence, where many persons would be seen, and persons of all descriptions. By this is represented the offering of the gospel to the Gentiles. They were commonly regarded among the Jews as living in highways and hedges cast out and despised. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:10

Bad and good - All descriptions of people. None are good by nature; if they were they would not need the gospel; but some are worse than others, and they have special need of it. None can be saved without it. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 22:8-10

Matthew 22:8-10. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready That is, the marriage-feast is prepared; but they which were bidden were not worthy Were not disposed to receive the gospel, not willing to repent and believe, and behave kindly to the preachers of it: which is the description Christ gives to his apostles of those whom they were to account αξιοι , worthy, Matthew 10:11-14. These here spoken of were αμελησαντες , (Matthew 22:5,) slighters, despisers of the spiritual... 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
