Matthew 22:9
The partings of the highways (tav diecodouv twn odwn). Vulgate, exitus viarum. Diodoi are cross-streets, while diecodoi (double compound) seem to be main streets leading out of the city where also side-streets may branch off, "by-ways."
7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out ahis armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’
10 So those servants went out into the highways and agathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there awho did not have on a wedding garment.
12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was aspeechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot,1 take him away, and cast him ainto outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?
