to them again in parables, saying... Verse 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. Those invited to the wedding feast declined to attend. Meyer suggests that those who left "having paid no attention" formed the majority, while "the rest", in verse 6, formed a smaller "remainder" of the invitees. Verse 13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, [take him away, and] cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth'. The words "take him away, and" (ἄρατε αὐτὸν καὶ) are missing from the critical Novum Testamentum Graece. Meyer argues that "the word ἄρατε, not being needed to complete the picture, was struck out.

Jesus pointed out that the basis of the belief in resurrection can be found within the books of Moses, specifically citing . The Greatest Commandment (22:34–40) A question is asked by a lawyer, one of the Pharisees:Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?France describes the combination of and as a brilliantly creative idea, as it brings the focus on the two halves of the Ten Commandments as a foundation of life, and sums up that duty as love, that is, a God-like attitude beyond the specific requirements of the Law. The Jerusalem Bible suggests that the reference to a lawyer is not original but borrowed from Luke 10:25, There was a lawyer who, to disconcert [Jesus] ...'Son of David?' (22:41–46)While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,Jesus now asks a question of the Pharisees. Johann Bengel suggests that
