Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 22:2-3

Matthew 22:2-3. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king That is, the dispensation of the gospel may be well illustrated by that which happened in the case of a king; who made a marriage for his son Our Lord is frequently represented in Scripture under the character of a bridegroom. The marriage-feast here spoken of is intended to signify the blessings of the gospel, which are set forth under the emblem of a feast in divers passages of Scripture, especially Isaiah 25:6; and... 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 22:3

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.Israel had long known of that approaching appointment to receive and honor the King's Son when he should appear in their midst. Their whole nation had been protected and nurtured through long history for the specific purpose of equipping them to recognize and hail their Messiah when he came. The first of those servants sent to announce that the great feast was at hand was John the Baptist.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 22:5

But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise.That was the crowning insult, not merely rejecting it, but belittling it and making light of it. Matthew Henry saw in the two classes mentioned here examples of rural and urban mankind, thus including practically all people.[2] It has also been suggested that the two great classifications of all human activity, involving production and distribution, are also indicated. read more
