Matthew 22

From PreparingYou
Jump to: navigation, search
Matthew was inspired to explain the kingdom of God to the Jews and the Parthians so that they might repent of the ways of error[1] which were spots in their religion.[2] They needed to repent of systems of social welfare of the cities of blood and seek the way of His righteousness.

Comments
The Parable in Matthew 22 about the wedding feast is an allegory meant to teach about the Kingdom of God which Christ preached.
Both the word marriage and the word adultery are used allegorically and then can be seen as being about a contract or covenant with God dependent upon a relationship with God and His Son according to The Way and Will of God, keeping it or breaking it.
[5] But they made light of it,(amelēsantes,[3] having paid no attention)[4] and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
After Saul was elected by the voice of the people consumatin a rejection of God. The warning of 1 Samuel 8 was clear and the foolishness of King Saul was the begining of that process of degeneration,
David and Paul also warned us of a table that was a snare and a trap.
Hebrews 13:10 "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."
In eastern cultures the wedding clothes or garment was often provided by the host but had to be put on by the guest. Augustine of Hippo said the garment was symbolizing charity but Martin Luther suggested that the garment represented Christ. John Calvin says it is faith and good works.[5]
In Isaiah 64:6... we see, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
V17 Is it lawful to Pay tribute unto Caesar, or not?
V44 The LORD(Κύριος/Kyrios Nominative[6] case)[7] said unto my Lord(Κυρίῳ/Kyriō Dative[8] case)[7], Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?[9]
1 Corinthians 10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
Questions


The Parable of the Wedding Feast

[1] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

[2] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

Invitation rejected

[3] And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

[4] Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

Made light

[5] But they made light of it,[3] and went their ways,[10] one to his farm, another to his merchandise:(having paid no attention)[4]

Some attacked the servants

[6] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

Destruction was the result

[7] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

NOT worthy

[8] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Sought others

[9] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

[10] So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

No wedding garment

[11] And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

[12] And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

[13] Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[14] For many are called, but few are chosen.

Paying Taxes to Caesar

[15] Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle[11] him in his talk.

[16] And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. (not a respector of persons

[17] Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

[18] But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

Show me the money

[19] Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

[20] And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

[21] They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

[22] When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

[23] The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

[24] Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

[25] Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

[26] Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

[27] And last of all the woman died also.

[28] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

[29] Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. [12]

[30] For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

[31] But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

[32] I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

[33] And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

More tempting

[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

The Great Commandments

[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

[38] This is the first and great commandment.

[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.[13]

[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Whose Son Is the Christ?

[41] While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

[42] Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.

[43] He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

[44] The LORD[7] said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?[9]

[45] If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

[46] And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Footnotes

  1. The way of error
    2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
    Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
    Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
    Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
  2. Spotted and unspotted
    1 Timothy 6:14 "That thou keep [this] commandment without spot <aspilos>, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
    James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted <aspilos> from the world.
    1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish <amomos> and without spot <aspilos>:"
    2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot <aspilos>, and blameless <amometos>. 15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation..."
    Hebrews 9:14 "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot <amomos> to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
    2 Peter 2:13 "And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots <spilos> [they are] and blemishes<momos>, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
    Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage... 21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted <spiloo> by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless <amomos> before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"

    Psalms 106:25 "But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD."
    Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction... 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:"
    Matthew 24:38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come."
    Luke 14:18 "And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused... the master of the house being angry... Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled... none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded... in the day when the Son of man... Remember Lot’s wife."
    1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
    Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace."

    John 10:13 "The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth <3199|melo> not for the sheep."

If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the prideboaster of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
    2 Peter 1:12 "Wherefore I will not be negligent <272|amelo> to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;"
    1 Corinthians 12:25 "That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ..."
  5. "As to the wedding garment, is it faith, or is it a holy life? This is a useless controversy; for faith cannot be separated from good works, nor do good works proceed from any other source than from faith. Christ intended only to state that the Lord calls us on the express condition of our being renewed by the Spirit ... and that, in order to our remaining permanently in his house, we must put off the old man with his pollutions ... and lead a new life."

  9. 9.0 9.1 Barnes' Notes on the Bible. "How is this doctrine that he is "descended" from David consistent with what David says when he calls him "lord?" How can your opinion be reconciled with that? That declaration of David is recorded in Psalms 110:1. A "lord" or master is a superior. The word here does not necessarily imply divinity, but only superiority. David calls him his superior, his lord, his master, his lawgiver, and expresses his willingness to obey him. If the Messiah was to be merely a descendant of David, as other men descended from parents if he was to have a human nature only if he did not exist when David wrote - with what propriety could he, then, call him his lord?
