Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 22:1 In-Context

1 Jésus, prenant la parole, continua à leur parler en paraboles et dit:
2 Le royaume des cieux est semblable à un roi qui fit les noces de son fils.
3 Et il envoya ses serviteurs pour appeler ceux qui avaient été invités aux noces; mais ils ne voulurent point venir.
4 Il envoya encore d'autres serviteurs avec cet ordre: Dites à ceux qui ont été invités: J'ai préparé mon dîner; mes taureaux et mes bêtes grasses sont tués, et tout est prêt; venez aux noces.
5 Mais eux, n'en tenant compte, s'en allèrent, l'un à sa métairie, et l'autre à son trafic.
