Mateus 22:6

6 e os outros, apoderando-se dos servos, os ultrajaram e mataram.

Mateus 22:6 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 22:6

And the remnant took his servants
They that went to their several worldly callings and occupations of life, troubled themselves no further about the Messiah, his doctrines and ordinances; but others of them were more spiteful and injurious: they not only slighted the message, and took no notice of the invitation, but also abused the messengers; some of the servants they laid hold upon, and put them in the common prison, and detained them there a while; as they did the apostles quickly after our Lord's ascension, particularly Peter and John: and entreated them spitefully;
gave them very hard words, and reproachful language; menacing and threatening them what they would do to them, if they did not forbear preaching in the name of Jesus; though they were not intimidated hereby, but rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame on such an account; and even their malice and wickedness proceeded so far, as to take away the lives of some of them: and slew them:
thus they stoned Stephen to death, the first martyr for Christ; and killed James, the brother of John, with the sword; which last, though he was put to death by Herod, yet with the consent and approval of the Jews.

Mateus 22:6 In-Context

4 Depois enviou outros servos, ordenando: Dizei aos convidados: Eis que tenho o meu jantar preparado; os meus bois e cevados já estão mortos, e tudo está pronto; vinde �s bodas.

5 Eles, porém, não fazendo caso, foram, um para o seu campo, outro para o seu negócio;

6 e os outros, apoderando-se dos servos, os ultrajaram e mataram.

7 Mas o rei encolerizou-se; e enviando os seus exércitos, destruiu aqueles homicidas, e incendiou a sua cidade.

8 Então disse aos seus servos: As bodas, na verdade, estão preparadas, mas os convidados não eram dignos.
