22:1 Jesus spoke 1 to them again in parables, saying: 22:2 “The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. 22:3 He sent his slaves 2 to summon those who had been invited to the banquet, but they would not come.
1 tn Grk “And answering again, Jesus spoke.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
2 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
