Matthew 22:8
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. (Matthew 22:8)
Wedding is ready.
 Some have seen a difficulty in the statement that the wedding is still “ready” after the king has taken time to dispose of his enemies (see v. 7). But Oriental feasts often last for many days (see on v. 2), and since no guests had arrived to partake of the king’s bounties, the feast would still be “ready,” even if the appointed time for the feast had passed.
Not worthy.
 That is, not acceptable in the sight of God (see ch. 10:11, 13).
They which were bidden.
 See on v. 3.
