Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21-29) And when a convenient day was come.--See Notes on Matthew 14:6-12.His lords, high captains, and chief estates.--St. Mark alone gives the account of the guests. The three words mean respectively--(1) the magnates, or officials of the court; (2) the chiliarchs, or chief captains (literally, captain of a thousand--the same word as in Acts 21:31; Acts 26:26) in the Roman legion; (3) the chief men ("estates" to modern ears is too formal a word), probably the large landowners of the province.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekOnτοῖς (tois)Article - Dative Neuter PluralStrong's 3588: The, the definite article.
