Albert Barnes Commentary Matthew 22:6

"and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them." — Matthew 22:6 (ASV)

And the remnant, etc. That is, a part made light of it, and treated it with silent contempt, and coolly went about their business. The others were not satisfied with that, but showed positive malignity. Some sinners seem to be well satisfied by merely neglecting religion; while others proceed against it with open violence and bitter malice.

Entreated them spitefully. Used harsh and scornful words, reviled and abused them. This was done because they hated and despised the king. So sinners often abuse and slander ministers of religion because they hate God, and can find no better way to show it.
