Mateus 22

Mateus 22

Calvin: Let us not flatter ourselves with the empty title of faith, but let every man seriously examine himself, that at the final review he may be pronounced to be one of the lawful guests; for, as Paul reminds us, that the vessels in the Lord’s house are not all of the same kind, so let every one that calleth on the name of the Lord depart from iniquity, (2 Timothy 2:19.) I enter no farther, at present, into the question about the eternal election of God; for the words of Christ mean nothing more than this, that the external profession of faith is not a sufficient proof that God will acknowledge as his people all who appear to have accepted of his invitation. Friend (2083) hetairos possibly from hetes = clansman but exact derivation is unclear).comrade, companion, friend. New Testament Usage In the New Testament the word is used only three times: in Matthew 20:13; 22:12; and 26:50 (Matthew 11:16 reads heterois [see 2066], “others,” in the earlier manuscripts). Each time the word is used it is in the form of an address. Hetairos occurs in the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard as a means of address for the vineyard owner when he answered his grumbling worker: “Friend, I do thee no wrong” (Matthew 20:13). It appears on the lips of the king in the Parable of the Marriage Feast (Matthew 22:12) when he addressed the man without a wedding garment: “Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?” It was also used by Jesus to address Judas when he betrayed the Lord (Matthew 26:50). Each use of the word indicates the existence of a bond between speaker and hearer which the hearer has somehow disregarded or even spurned. In many cases generosity is shown on the part of the speaker, in spite of the self-assertion of the hearer. Finally, the word is to be distinguished from its related term philos, “beloved.” Jesus called His disciples philoi, never hetairoi (John 15:14,15). HETAIROS - 3V - Matt. 20:13; Matt. 22:12; Matt. 26:50 Speechless (muzzle) (5392) phimoo from from phimós = muzzle for a beast's mouth) means to close the mouth with a muzzle, to muzzle, gag, restrain as an ox (1 Co 9:9; 1 Ti 5:18). Figuratively, phimoo means to stop one's mouth in order make speechless or reduce to silence (Mt 22:34; 1 Pe 2:15) It was used especially as in this passage of reducing an adversary to silence. Christ commanded the evil spirit not to speak (Mk 1:25; Lu 4:35) and the raging sea to be still (Mk 4:3). He muzzled the Sadducees (for muzzling see English definition) (Mt 22:34). Jesus also silenced the raging elements with His word's "Hush! (siopao) Be still (phimoo)" (Both verbs are commands - Mark 4:39). Phimoo is a more vigorous word than just "Be Quiet" as NASB translates in Mk 1:25. The picture is “Be muzzled” like an ox. Gould renders it “Shut up.” “Shut your mouth” would be too colloquial. Phimoo is used once in the Septuagint in Deuteronomy 25:4 "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing." Matthew 22:13 “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ KJV Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

A DARK, DISMAL END FOR "WEDDING CRASHERS!" Then (time phrase) the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw (ekbállō - aorist imperative - Do not delay!) him into the outer darkness (skotos) ; in that place there will be weeping (klauthmos - wailing) and gnashing (brugmos) of teeth = The penalty for improper wedding clothes was not just to be tossed out the door. Clearly at the point the parable takes on a meaning one would not expect at a typical Jewish wedding. The picture is clearly that of tossing the improperly dressed man into eternal punishment. Jesus gives three horrible aspects of eternal punishment - outer darkness, place of weeping and place of gnashing of teeth (almost certainly communicating pain).
