And sent his servant. — The servant stands in this parable as the representative of the whole order of prophets and apostles — of all who, like the Baptist and the Twelve, had been sent to invite men to the Kingdom. “The time of supper” is, in the primary application, the time of our Lord’s coming, when the Kingdom of Heaven was first proclaimed as nigh at hand. All things — pardon, peace, blessedness — were now ready for those who would accept them.
