“The kingdom of heaven
May be compared
To a king
Who gave a wedding banquet
For his son.”
Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.
This is somewhat similar to Luke, chapter 14:16, where it was “someone” and not “a king” who was giving a great dinner. Thus, Jesus, via Matthew, compared the kingdom of heaven (Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν) to this male king (ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ) who had prepared a great wedding banquet for his son (ὅστις ἐποίησεν γάμους τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ). This is an obvious allusion to the king, God the Father, giving a wedding banquet feast for his son, Jesus.
