0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. Today we open with Jesus telling the Parable of the Wedding Feast. |
0:16.0 | This parable is really similar to the Parable of the Tenants which we first read in Matthew 21, |
0:20.7 | and then read again today in Mark 12. Both involved the master and his relationship |
0:25.2 | with his son. Both involved sending multiple rounds of servants to get a |
0:28.7 | response from the people who refuse and even killed him. And both involved the master bringing justice for those who refuse |
0:34.6 | him and showing generosity to others. |
0:37.6 | In the Wedding Feast Parable, the master orders his servants to go invite both good and |

1:09.8 | when he adopts us into his family. |
1:12.2 | Whether these robes are figurative or |
1:13.7 | literal or some combo doesn't really matter. The point is that they mark us as |
1:17.9 | God's righteous children. As the Pharisees and other leaders grow more desperate |
1:22.4 | for reasons to accuse Jesus, |
1:24.1 | they sentence some people to trap him in a conversation about taxes. |
1:27.6 | You may recall that we already dealt with taxes once in Matthew 17 |
1:31.2 | when they asked Peter if Jesus pays the temple tax or not. |
