“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,”
The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. The Wedding Banquet parable moves from the vineyard imagery of the previous parable to the feast imagery of the messianic banquet. The king who gives a wedding feast for his son is the Father who gives the messianic banquet for the Son. The invited guests who refuse are the religious establishment; the later guests are those from the highways and byways.
