Commentary on Matthew 22:6

Theological / Devotional

The remnant. Or, “the rest,” that is, certain ones who were not content merely to ignore the invitation.

Took his servants. This refers primarily to Jewish persecution of the early Christians (see Acts 8:1-4).

Slew them. In the Jewish persecutions of the early Christian church Stephen was the first to fall (see Acts 6:9-15; 7:54-60). James, the first of the Twelve to be martyred, was also a victim of the enmity of the Jewish leaders (see Acts 12:1-3).
