Matthew 22:4

Again he sent other slaves, saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Look! The feast I have prepared for you is ready. ¹  My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”’

Ne 9:17; Ps 86:5; Pr 9:1,2; So 5:1; Mt 22:8; Lu 10:1-16; Lu 14:17; Lu 24:46,47; Joh 6:50-57; Ac 1:8; Ac 11:19,20; Ac 13:46; Ac 28:17-31; Ro 8:32; 1Co 5:7,8

¹ tn Grk “Behold, I have prepared my dinner.” In some contexts, however, to translate ἄριστον (ariston) as “dinner” somewhat misses the point. L&N 23.22 here suggests, “See now, the feast I have prepared (for you is ready).”
