Contextual Overview

¹ And Jesus answered again by similitudes, and said: ² The kingdom of heaven is like to a royal person, who made a feast for his son. ³ And he sent his servants to call those that had been invited, to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ And again he sent other servants, and said: Tell those invited, Behold, my entertainment is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are slain, and every thing is prepared; come ye to the feast. ⁵ But they showed contempt, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest seized his servants, and abused them, and slew them. ⁷ And when the king heard [fn] , he was angry; and he sent his military forces, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. ⁸ Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy. ⁹ Go ye therefore to the terminations of the streets; and as many as ye find, bid to the feast. ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the remnant took his servants,.... They that went to their several worldly callings and occupations of life, troubled themselves no further about the Messiah, his doctrines and ordinances; but others of them were more spiteful and injurious: they not only slighted the message, and took no notice of the invitation, but also abused the messengers; some of the servants they laid hold upon, and put them in the common prison, and detained them there a while; as they did the apostles quickly after our Lord's ascension, particularly Peter and John:

and entreated them spitefully; gave them very hard words, and reproachful language; menacing and threatening them what they would do to them, if they did not forbear preaching in the name of Jesus; though they were not intimidated hereby, but rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame on such an account; and even their malice and wickedness proceeded so far, as to take away the lives of some of them:

and slew them: thus they stoned Stephen to death, the first martyr for Christ; and killed James, the brother of John, with the sword; which last, though he was put to death by Herod, yet with the consent and approval of the Jews.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the remnant ... - That is, a part made light of it; treated it with silent contempt, and coolly went about their business. The others were not satisfied with that, but showed positive malignity. Some sinners seem to be well satisfied by merely neglecting religion; others proceed against it with open violence and bitter malice.

Entreated them spitefully - Used harsh and opprobrious words. Reviled and abused them. This was done because they hated and despised the king. So sinners often abuse and calumniate ministers of religion because they themselves hate God, and can in no way else show their hatred so well.
