The parable of the wedding banquet might be the most baffling story Jesus ever told: a king incinerates a city, packs his hall with strangers off the street, then hurls one guest into outer darkness for showing up without the right robe. This episode, we trace how Matthew, Luke, and the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas each tell the parable differently — and how each version quietly rewrites the villain, from the Jewish people to the merchant class itself. Turns out "many are called, but few are chosen" is attached to a far stranger tale than anyone taught you in Sunday school. _______________________________________________ Get your Data Over Dogma merch at our online store: https://data-over-dogma-shop.fourthwall.com/ Shop our classic collection before our old store closes: https://datadoverdogma.printful.me _______________________________________________ Support Data Over Dogma and get every episode early and ad-free, plus exclusive bonus content — become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma _______________________________________________ Listen to the podcast on every app: https://pod.link/1681418502 _______________________________________________ Follow us: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Threads — https://www.threads.com/@dataoverdogmapod X — https://x.com/data_over_dogma Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod _______________________________________________ Get Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book, The Bible Says So: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/bible-says-so-9781250347466/ _______________________________________________ Chapters: 0:00 Cold Open & Comics 0:51 A Terrible Parable 1:43 Reading Matthew 22 4:19 Where It Breaks Down 4:34 Q and the Sources 6:18 The Missing Wedding Robe 8:17 Many Called, Few Chosen 9:14 Decoding the Allegory 10:34 Burning Jerusalem, 70 CE 13:09 What the Robe Means 15:37 Luke's Gentler Version 19:49 The Gospel of Thomas 23:24 Murky Waters 24:08 Support the Show _______________________________________________ #DataOverDogma #BibleScholarship #Parables #GospelOfThomas #NewTestament
