Exegesis
The aorist verb apesteilen {ἀπέστειλεν | apésteilen} ‘sent’ introduces the main action of the king in the parable, with tous doulous autou {τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ | toús doúlous autoû} ‘his servants’ as the direct object, marked by the accusative article-noun-pronoun chain.
It governs the object phrase tous keklēmenous {τοὺς κεκλημένους | toús keklēménous} ‘those who have been invited’, where the perfect passive participle emphasizes that the invitation was already extended prior to this renewed summons, underlining the guests’ established status.
The prepositional phrase eis tous gamous {εἰς τοὺς γάμους | eis toús gámous} specifies the goal of the invitation, the wedding feasts, a common metaphor for eschatological celebration in Matthew.
In context — Matthew 22:3
And he sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast , but they were not willing to come .
