Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 22:4

Again he sent forth other servants saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.These other servants and their invitation represent the evangelistic program of the church following the resurrection of Christ. Trench said:This second summons I take to represent the invitation to the Jewish people, as it was renewed to them at the second epoch of the kingdom, that is, after the... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 22:6

And the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them. But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.The shameful treatment and murder of the servants were fulfilled by the imprisonment of the apostles by the Pharisees and Sadducees, and their stoning of Stephen. The first few chapters of Acts record a graphic narrative of events exactly in keeping with the words here.This passage also shows that the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 22:3

Matthew 22:3. And sent forth his servants— It was sometimes customary to send two messages, as in the case here supposed, which represented the condescension the greater, and suited the repeated invitations given to the Jews by Christ himself during his life, and by the Apostles after his death. The invitation which preceded the call at the hour of supper, may signify the vocation of the Jews, by which they became in a peculiarsense the visible church; and, in consequence whereof, they had the... read more

Matthew 22:4. Again he sent forth other servants— After Christ's resurrection and ascension, the Apostles were sent to inform the Jews, that the Gospel covenant was established, mansions in heaven were prepared, and nothing was wanting, but that they should cheerfully accept of the honour designed them. It was as agreeable to the simplicity of the antient ages to mention oxen and fatlings as the chief parts of a royal entertainment. Thus, in Homer and other ancient writers, we see princes of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 22:5-6

Matthew 22:5-6. But they made light of it, &c.— The men, all undervaluing the favour offered them, mocked at the message, and went about their ordinary business; only some of them, more rude than the rest, insulted, beat, and slew the servants who had come to call them. The success of the call, and the treatmentwhich the king's servants met with, were designed to represent the ill success which the Gospel and its ministers might expect among the Jews, who being, in a national point of view,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 22:7

Matthew 22:7. When the king heard thereof, he was wroth— The invitation to the marriage-supper of his son, sent by this king to his supposed friends, was the highest expression of his regard for them, and the greatest honour which could be shown them; therefore, when they refused it for such trifling reasons, and were so savagely ungrateful as to beat, wound, and kill the servants who came with it, it was a most outrageous affront; an injurydeserving of the severest punishment. Accordingly the... read more

3. and sent forth his servants—representing all preachers of the Gospel. to call them that were bidden—here meaning the Jews, who were "bidden," from the first choice of them onwards through every summons addressed to them by the prophets to hold themselves in readiness for the appearing of their King. to the wedding—or the marriage festivities, when the preparations were all concluded. and they would not come—as the issue of the whole ministry of the Baptist, our Lord Himself, and His apostles... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:4

4. my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage—This points to those Gospel calls after Christ's death, resurrection, ascension, and effusion of the Spirit, to which the parable could not directly allude, but when only it could be said, with strict propriety, "that all things were ready." Compare 1 Corinthians 5:7; 1 Corinthians 5:8, "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore, let us keep the feast"; also 1 Corinthians 5:8- :, "I am the living... read more
