The Parable of the Wedding Feast
The Parable of the Tenants
The chief priests are questioning Jesus’s authority
Jesus begins to teach in parables; the priests are present for this
Parable preceding the Parable of the Wedding Feast is given
Dominion is given to tenants to grow fruit
They abuse the master sends his servants.
They are beat, killed, and stoned
Master sends His Son
Son is killed due to the tenants believing they could steal his inheritance
Jesus end the parable with a question
The chief priests answer
Jesus explains the parable with one answer
The chief priests and pharisees are cowed into inaction
Jesus launches into the next parable
The Actors and Components in the Parable
A King throws a wedding feast for his Son
In the entire story the king is the only active agent.
He is the only one who speaks; there is no dialogue.
With the exception of vv.
5–6* and v. 10*, the story consists only of his actions or commands.

In
He sends out his servants to invite the guests…the guests ignore the request
He sends out his servants to invite the guest
Wedd
The guests ignore the request.
The King sends out more servants to invite his guests
The King sends out more servants to invite his guests
The guests are enticed with a description of the feast
Most ignore the request; they are distracted with the world.
The “rest” seized and ultimately kill the servants
The reaction is strikingly extreme but closely parallelled in Josephus’s report of the treatment of King Hezekiah’s messengers who seek to summon the Israelites to the feast of Passover in Jerusalem.
In both cases the reaction is of people marking out their independence from the king.
The King is angered and exacts justice on the “murderers”
The King declares the feast ready
Original guests are not worthy
Servants are commanded to invite everyone
Both good and bad are gathered
could be of greater or lesser status
could be of greater or lesser character
A man is found without a wedding garment
He is bound
He is tossed into “outer darkness”
Why is the man without a wedding garment singled out if all the quests were gathered quickly?
The Impact of the Parable
The Impact of the Parable
The Parable of the Sower resembles this frantic tossing of “Seed”
Invitation is the Seed; the Seed is the Word; the Word is Christ.
Matthew
The King walks in to the wedding feast and judges those that are attending and sees the man who does not belong
The man is judged and has no response to the king
The King walks in to the wedding feast and judges those that are
The responsibly rests on the soils/guest to be prepared for the harvest/wedding feast
This parable has end times or judgement context.
