Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 22:1-46

Matthew 22:2 . The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king which made a marriage for his son. The marriage of the heir apparent, giving stability to the throne, protection to the subject, and glory to the empire, is a most auspicious event, and claims the most lively interest of the nation.
