Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 14:12-14

Many things are delivered in Scripture in the form of an absolute and universal prohibition, which must not be so understood, amongst which this is one instance. None must think that our Saviour doth here absolutely or universally forbid our invitations of our brethren, or kinsmen, or rich neighbours, or friends, to dinners or suppers with us; there was nothing more ordinarily practised amongst the Jews; Christ himself was at divers meals: but Christ by this teacheth us, 1. That this is no act... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 14:7-14

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 14:7. Put forth a parable.—The miracle was wrought, evidently, before the feast began. From the emulation among the guests, and from the allusion in Luke 14:12 to friends and rich neighbours, this seems to have been a formal and luxurious entertainment. The word “parable” is used in a wide sense; the words are to be taken literally, but suggest a great moral lesson (Luke 14:11). Chief rooms.—Rather, “chief seats” (R.V.); the middle places on the triclinium were counted the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 14:10

Luke 14:10 I. To take the "lowest room" towards God is: (1) To be content simply to take God at His word, without asking any questions or raising any doubts, but to accept at His hand all that God graciously vouchsafes to give you the pardon and the peace; to be a receptacle of love, a vessel into which, of His free mercy, He has poured and is pouring now, and will go on to pour for ever, the abundance of His grace. (2) Next, it is to be just what God makes you to rest where He places you to do... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 14:11

Luke 14:11 This is one of the sayings which we gather from the Gospels to have been frequently in our Lord's mouth, and this means that it had some variety of application now graver, now lighter. In the passage which we just read, it was His comment on an exhibition of what we should call vanity. On the surface He seemed to point not so much to the spiritual fault which was at the root of the pushing for the first seats, as to its futility, to the punishment which certainly and speedily... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 14:12-14

Luke 14:12-14 Christ's Counsel to His Host. Are ordinary dinner-parties wrong, then, in the eye of Christ, our Law-giver? Does He really condemn the custom of having our friends and social equals to dine with us, and really demand that we entertain instead, if we entertain at all, only those who are conventionally below us only the poor and destitute, the most melancholy objects, the most miserable creatures we can find? I. With respect to the passage before us, the veiled message, the enfolded... read more

DISCOURSE: 1538THE AMBITIOUS GUESTLuke 14:7-10. And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that... read more

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.IT is a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 14:1-35

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the gospel according to Luke, chapter 14.The fourteenth chapter involves an invitation for Jesus to come to a supper on the Sabbath day and of the things that transpired at that supper, and the subsequent exchange between Jesus and the people as Jesus talked to them concerning etiquette and concerning the demands of the kingdom.So it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him (... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 14:1-35

Luke 14:3 . Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day. When customs are good, let us keep them; but when they are burthensome and inconsistent, the Saviour refused submission to the traditions of men. Yet he condescended to assign reasons, for we should use great forbearance with misguided men On another occasion he said, My Father works, in the shining of the sun, and I work. Ye also circumcise a son on the sabbath; and if it be lawful for you to wound, why not for me to heal? You help a... read more
