Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 22:2

Theological / Devotional

Kingdom of heaven. See on Matt. 3:2; 4:17; 5:2; Luke 4:19.

A certain king. Here, God the Father.

A marriage. Gr. gamoi, literally, “wedding festivities.” The pleasures of a feast were a common Jewish symbol of the privileges and joys of the Messianic kingdom (see on Matt. 8:11; Luke 14:15). In Oriental lands a feast such as this might last for several days (see Judges 14:17; see on Esther 1:4, 5; John 2:1).

His son. That is, Christ (see on ch. 25:1). For comments on Christ as the Son of God see on Luke 1:35, and as the Son of man see on Matt. 1:1; Mark 2:10. See Additional Note on John 1.
