Matt 22:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:”
On this verse:
“Or; The servants who were first sent to call them that were bidden to the wedding, are to be taken as the Prophets converting the people by their prophecy to the festival of the restoration of the Church to Christ. They who would not come at the first message are they who refused to hear the words of the Prophets. The others who were sent a second time were another assembly of Prophets.”
