Exegesis
The second imperative kalesate {καλέσατε | ka-lé-sa-te} ‘invite’ issues the summons, while the prepositional purpose clause eis tous gamous {εἰς τοὺς γάμους | eis toùs gá-mous} ‘into the wedding feasts’ clarifies the invitation’s goal. The formal translation preserves the conditional structure and specific locational nuance, whereas the dynamic version streamlines the sequence for readability while retaining the essential summons.
In context — Matthew 22:9
Therefore go to the junctions of the roads, and invite to the wedding feast as many people as you may find.
