SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #429
"And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. And he saith to him: 'Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment?' But he was silent." (Matt. 22:11-12)
THE EXCUSES OF SINNERS: The rejected guest was silent, for he could bring forward nothing in excuse. here, upon earth, careless Christians are always excusing themselves, both to themselves and to others. But before the judgment seat of the All-knowing and All-holy God they will have to keep silence.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
