<p>22:14- see on&nbsp;24:5.<br /><em>For many are called but few chosen</em>- When the Lord said that many are called but few chosen, He was actually alluding to a well known saying from 4 Ezra 8:3: &ldquo;Many have been created, but few shall be saved&rdquo;. He was as it were raising the bar. It was to be a minority of those called, not just a minority of all creation, who were to be saved. In the context of the parable, the servants call many; but only relatively few are chosen, in that few chose to really accept the gift of imputed righteousness in the garment of Christ. Although only one such person is detailed in the parable, this final observation could imply that the majority of those invited will be ejected. The language of 'chosen' is maybe used to emphasize that it is our duty to call people into the banquet; it is not for us to choose who will ultimately be accepted, because that is not our work.</p>
