Matthieu 22:9 Meaning and 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 such privileges as this entertainment expresses: and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage;
to the marriage feast, not the marriage supper, but the dinner, ( Matthew 22:4 ) , their orders were to go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, Jew or Gentile, high or low, rich or poor, outwardly righteous, or openly profane, greater or lesser sinners, and exhort them to attend the Gospel ministry, and ordinances.

Matthieu 22:9 In-Context

7 Le roi fut irrité; il envoya ses troupes, fit périr ces meurtriers, et brûla leur ville.
8 Alors il dit à ses serviteurs: Les noces sont prêtes; mais les conviés n'en étaient pas dignes.
9 Allez donc dans les carrefours, et appelez aux noces tous ceux que vous trouverez.
10 Ces serviteurs allèrent dans les chemins, rassemblèrent tous ceux qu'ils trouvèrent, méchants et bons, et la salle des noces fut pleine de convives.
11 Le roi entra pour voir ceux qui étaient à table, et il aperçut là un homme qui n'avait pas revêtu un habit de noces.
