NET Notes

¹tn That is, like slaves (who are mentioned later, vv. 37-38), although the term ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is used here. Since in this context it appears generic rather than gender-specific, the translation “people” is employed.

²sn An ancient wedding celebration could last for days (Tob 11:18).
