Mattityahu 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.

Mattityahu 22:1 In-Context

1 2 And, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach again spoke in meshalim (parables) to them, saying,

2 The Malchut HaShomayim is like a man, a Melech (King), who prepared a feast for the chasunoh (wedding) of Bno.

3 And the Melech sent out his servants to summon the Bnei HaChuppah (wedding invitees—Mt 9:15) to the chasunoh, and they did not want to come.

4 Again, the Melech sent out other servants, saying, Tell the Bnei HaChuppah, the wedding invitees, Hinei! My Seudah I have prepared, my oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready: Come to the chasunoh!

5 But the Bnei HaChuppah, the chasunoh invitees, having treated it all as a mere trifle, departed, one to his farmer’s field, one to his business.
