Gann's Commentary on the Bible

Windell Gann

Matthew 25

Verse 1

Matthew 25:1

Jesus’ picture seems to be a collery of the wedding scenes he often used in parables (see also John 14:2-3 ff). When a man became engaged he would add a room onto his father’s compound. He didn’t know just how long it would take him to complete it, but when he did he would go and get his new bride for the wedding ceremony and bring her back to their new residence.
