Mateo 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 22:1

And Jesus answered and spake unto them again
Not to the multitude only, but to the chief priests, elders, Scribes, and Pharisees: for though Mark seems to intimate, that upon the delivery of the last parable of the vineyard, they left him, and went their way; yet since he does not relate the following parable, they might not leave him until they had heard that, which is spoken with much the same design as the former, and might increase their resentment the more: or if the chief priests and elders did go away, the Pharisees remained behind, as is clear from ( Matthew 22:15 ) to whom he spake

by parables,
similitudes, and comparisons, taken from earthly things, and against whom he directed the following one;

and said,
as hereafter related.

Mateo 22:1 In-Context

1 Jesús volvió a hablarles en parábolas, y les dijo:

2 «El reino de los cielos es como un rey que preparó un banquete de bodas para su hijo.

3 Mandó a sus siervos que llamaran a los invitados, pero estos se negaron a asistir al banquete.

4 Luego mandó a otros siervos y les ordenó: “Digan a los invitados que ya he preparado mi comida: Ya han matado mis bueyes y mis reses cebadas, y todo está listo. Vengan al banquete de bodas”.

5 Pero ellos no hicieron caso y se fueron: uno a su campo, otro a su negocio.
