And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Note 3 at Mt 22:11: It is thought that it was customary for wedding garments to be provided for all guests by their host. It was an insult of the highest degree to refuse to use the provided clothing since the guests were brought in directly from the highways and streets (Mt 22:9-10). The wedding garment, no doubt, speaks of the righteousness of Christ that God so graciously provides for all who accept His invitation into the kingdom (Re 19:8), for it must be put on by both good and bad (Mt 22:10).
