John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:22

And the servant said ,.... After he had been and brought in a large number of such as are before described, and he was directed to, and succeeded to the gathering of them in: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded ; the apostles exactly observed the orders of their Lord and master; they began to preach the Gospel at Jerusalem; and being drove from thence, they went and preached to the Jews of the dispersion, and to the proselytes among the Gentiles: and yet there is room ; that is,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:23

And the Lord said unto the servant ,.... A second time; that since the Jews put away the word of eternal life from them, and judged themselves unworthy of it by their contradicting and blaspheming it, he commanded his apostles to turn from them to the Gentiles; see Acts 13:45 , go out into the highways and hedges : the Persic version adds, "of the vineyards"; see 1 Chronicles 4:23 and may in general design the mean, base, vile, and sinful state of the Gentiles; who might be said to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:24

For I say unto you ,.... Most solemnly affirm it, and even swear to it, nothing is more certain, or will be found more true: that none of those men that were bidden : the impenitent and unbelieving Jews, the Scribes, and Pharisees, and the greater part of the nation; who first had the Gospel published to them, who are the many that were called, though few were chosen, and therefore came not; nor did, nor shall taste of my supper : nor had they so much as a superficial knowledge of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:25

And there went great multitudes with him ,.... From Galilee, as he journeyed from thence to Jerusalem; some for one thing, and some another, and all perhaps were in expectation of his setting up a temporal kingdom when he came there; and hoped they should share, more or less, the worldly advantages of it; for the whole nation was big with such carnal notions of the Messiah. Jesus therefore, to draw off their minds from such views, and that they might not be disappointed, acquaints them, that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:17

Sent his servant - Messengers are sent to invite the guests to a Hindoo feast; when not only relations, but all persons of the same division of caste in the neighborhood, are invited. A refusal to attend is considered as a great affront. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:22

And yet there is room - On some occasions, so numerous are the guests that there is not room for them to sit in the court of the person who makes the feast, and a larger is therefore borrowed. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:23

Compel them to come in - αναγκασον , Prevail on them by the most earnest entreaties. The word is used by Matthew, Matthew 14:22 , and by Mark, Mark 6:45 ; in both which places, when Christ is said, αναγκαζειν , to constrain his disciples to get into the vessel, nothing but his commanding or persuading them to do it can be reasonably understood. The Latins use cogo , and compello , in exactly the same sense, i.e. to prevail on by prayers, counsels, entreaties, etc. See several... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:23

Verse 23 Luke 14:23.Compel them to come in. This expression means, that the master of the house would give orders to make use, as it were, of violence for compelling the attendance of the poor, and to leave out none of the lowest dregs of the people. By these words Christ declares that he would rake together all the offscourings of the world, rather than he would ever admit such ungrateful persons to his table. The allusion appears to be to the manner in which the Gospel invites us; for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 14:1-24

The great supper. The feast of which Christ, was partaking had been carefully prepared, and was an event of some consequence in the town. This may be inferred not only from the tone of the Lord's remarks, but also from the intimations of the evangelists. Thus from Luke 14:12 it appears that the Pharisee had gathered together the elite of the place, along with his more intimate friends and his kinsmen. From Luke 14:7 we learn that there had been an eager scramble on the part of the... read more
