Neville Goddard on Matthew 22:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 22 in context

Scripture Focus

8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Matthew 22:8-10

Biblical Context

Jesus says the wedding is ready, but the original guests are unworthy; the invitation goes to the highways, gathering both good and bad, until the feast is filled.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the wedding as already ready in the inner chamber of your being. The servants are your habitual thoughts; the highway is the open road of imagination you travel when you dare to feel differently. Those bidden who were not worthy symbolize the belief that certain parts of you are outside the feast. Yet the command to go into the highways invites every state of consciousness—good and bad—into a single, harmonized sense of self. When you accept all your thoughts as potential guests and refuse to disqualify any feeling, the feast is furnished with guests by your own inward decision. The wedding is not a distant ceremony but a present reality born of your assumption. The I AM—your continuous awareness—applies the invitation and creates the guests you deem worthy. By revising the inner picture and feeling it real, you awaken as the host who has already welcomed everyone. The state you claim becomes the life you live, and the feast manifests as your lived experience.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume 'I am fully worthy, and this inner feast is mine now.' Then, feel the room already filled with guests as a present reality.
