Matteo 22:9

9 Andate dunque sui crocicchi delle strade e chiamate alle nozze quanti troverete.

Matteo 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.

Matteo 22:9 In-Context

7 Allora il re s’adirò, e mandò le sue truppe a sterminare quegli omicidi e ad ardere la loro città.
8 Quindi disse ai suoi servitori: Le nozze, si, sono pronte; ma gl’invitati non ne erano degni.
9 Andate dunque sui crocicchi delle strade e chiamate alle nozze quanti troverete.
10 E quei servitori, usciti per le strade, raunarono tutti quelli che trovarono, cattivi e buoni; e la sala delle nozze fu ripiena di commensali.
11 Or il re, entrato per vedere quelli che erano a tavola, notò quivi un uomo che non vestiva l’abito di nozze.
