A Quentin Tarantino Parable: The Joyous and Violent Story of the King’s Wedding Feast for His Son

Why is the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 a Quentin Tarantino-type story? How do all the OT meals both flow from and lead up to this wedding feast? How is all of salvation history squeezed into these 14 verses? What is the wedding garment and why does one man not have one? How is “gnashing of teeth” almost universally misunderstood as an expression of pain? Chad Bird will tackle all of these question in this week’s video on “Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes.”

Thank you for explaining the gnashing of teeth. I always cringe when I have to preach on one of those kinds of texts. Your explanation helped make it much more understandable and meaningful.

Something I found interesting that a wedding is mentioned, the groom is mentioned, but the Bride is not explicitly mentioned.
