Exegesis
The relative pronoun hostis {ὅστις | hóstis} introduces a defining relative clause that explains the comparison: epoiesen gamous {ἐποίησεν γάμους | epoíēsen gámous}, literally “made wedding feasts,” where the plural “weddings” functions idiomatically for a single wedding banquet.
In context — Matthew 22:2
The kingdom of heaven has been compared to a man, a king , who prepared a wedding feast for his son .
