Exegesis
The clause ho men gamos hetoimos estin {Ὁ μὲν γάμος ἕτοιμός ἐστιν | ho mén gá-mos hé-toi-mos é-stin} employs the contrastive men…de {μὲν…δὲ | mén…dé} structure, with the first half affirming that “the wedding is ready.” The subject gamos, modified by hetoimos, precedes the copula estin, giving emphasis to the readiness of the feast.
In context — Matthew 22:8
Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy .”
