Mateus 22:9 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

We have here the parable of the guests invited to the wedding-feast. In this it is said (Matt. 22:1), Jesus answered, not to what his opposers said (for they were put to silence), but to what they thought, when they were wishing for an opportunity to lay hands on him, Matt. 21:46. Note, Christ knows how to answer men's thoughts, for he is a Discerner of them. Or, He answered, that is, he continued his discourse to the same purport; for this parable represents the gospel offer, and the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 22:1-10

22:1-10 Jesus again answered them in parables: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like the situation which arose when a man who was a king arranged a wedding for his son. He sent his servants to summon those who had been invited to the wedding, and they refused to come. He again sent other servants. 'Tell those who have been invited,' he said, 'look you, I have my meal all prepared; my oxen and my specially fattened animals have been killed; and everything is ready. Come to the wedding.' But they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:9

Go ye therefore into the highways ,.... Either of the city, which were open and public, and where much people were passing to and fro; or of the fields, the high roads, where many passengers were travelling; and may design the Gentile world, and Gentile sinners, who, in respect of the Jews, were far off; were walking in their own ways, and in the high road to destruction; and may denote their being the vilest of sinners, and as having nothing to recommend them to the divine favour, and to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:9

Go ye therefore into the highways - Διεξοδους των οδων , cross or by-paths; the places where two or more roads met in one, leading into the city, where people were coming together from various quarters of the country. St. Luke adds hedges, to point out the people to whom the apostles were sent, as either miserable vagabonds, or the most indigent poor, who were wandering about the country, or sitting by the sides of the ways and hedges, imploring relief. This verse points out the final... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:9

Verse 9 9.Go therefore to the highways. Having shown that they are unworthy of the grace of God who disdainfully reject it when offered to them, he now says that their place is supplied by others, by the mean and despised common people. And here is described the calling of the Gentiles, which is to excite the Jews to jealousy, as we have it in the Song of Moses; They have provoked me by those who are not gods, and I will provoke them by that which is not a people, and by a foolish nation will... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 22:1-14

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
