Matthew 22:9

9 Go to the street corners. Invite to the dinner anyone you can find.'

Matthew 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.

Matthew 22:9 In-Context

7 "The king became very angry. He sent his army to destroy them. They killed those murderers and burned their city.
8 "Then the king said to his servants, 'The wedding dinner is ready. But those I invited were not fit to come.
9 Go to the street corners. Invite to the dinner anyone you can find.'
10 So the servants went out into the streets. They gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad. Soon the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 "The king came in to see the guests. He noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
