At the feast the Saviour occupied the most honored seat. Matthew was now the servant of Christ, and he would have his friends know in what light he regarded his Leader and Master. He would have them know that he felt highly honored in entertaining so royal a guest.{5BC 1120.2}

Ved festen sad Frelseren på det mest ærefulde sæde. Mattæus var nu Kristi tjener, og han ville have at hans venner vidste i hvilket lys han betragtede sin Leder og Mester ved. Han ville have dem til at vide at han følte sig højt æret over at beværte en så kongelig gæst.
