Why was the king so angry when those invited did not come to the wedding banquet? What point was Jesus making with this parable?

The king ''God'' was angry because his subjects did not respect his invitation. He asked them out of love, but they did not take Him seriously. When God invites us to live in His kingdom, we are expected to take it seriously, and prepare for it by putting on the right clothing so that as disciples of Jesus we may enter the kingdom of Heaven as the children of God. The people in the parable were unprepared in every way to receive the Lord, therefore they were destroyed.

Why was the King angry, and what point did Jesus have in making with this parable?

You only feel devastated upon knowing that all along your sujects who always act with respect hate you to the extent that they reject your banquet. The king had all good reasons to be angry. Jesus however wanted to draw a picture on what it looks like to God, to love and care about the people whom he sends open invitations to his Kingdom, but turn them down.

What was it about Jesus answer that caused the Pharisees and Herodians to marvel?

Some thaought that Jesus had no respect for the social set up of the Jewish community, therfore they looked for a chance to convict him before society, but they were thrown back when he read their minds.
