Gregory the Great, on Matt 22:1
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Matt 22:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:”
On this verse:
“(Hom. in Ev. xxxviii. 2.) Here, by the wedding-feast is denoted the present Church; there, by the supper, the last and eternal feast. For into this enter some who shall perish; into that whosoever has once entered in shall never be put forth. But if any should maintain that these are the same lessons, we may perhaps explain that that part concerning the guest who had come in without a wedding garment, which Luke has not mentioned, Matthew has related. That the one calls it supper, the other dinner, makes no difference; for with the ancients the dinner was at the ninth hour, and was therefore often called supper.”
