Matthew 22:2-4
New English Translation

2 “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his slaves[a] to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready.[b] My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 22:3 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
  2. Matthew 22:4 tn Grk “Behold, I have prepared my meal.” In some contexts, however, to translate ἄριστον (ariston) as “meal” or “dinner” somewhat misses the point. L&N 23.22 here suggests, “See now, the feast I have prepared (for you is ready).”
