John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:1

And it came to pass ,.... The Persic version adds, "on a certain day"; and it is afterwards said to be the sabbath day. This seems to have been somewhere or other in Galilee; see Luke 17:11 . As he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees ; or rather, one of the rulers, and of the sect of the Pharisees: and he might be either a ruler of a synagogue, or a member of one of the lesser or greater sanhedrim; such another as Nicodemus, who was of the Pharisees, and a ruler of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:2

And behold, there was a certain man before him ,.... Who sat just before him, as he was at table; who either came there of himself, in order to receive a cure; or rather, since it was in a private house, and he at table too, was brought and set there on purpose by the Pharisees, to try whether Christ would heal him on the sabbath day, that they might have somewhat against him; which they doubted not but he would do, knowing his compassionate and beneficent disposition to do good to creatures... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:3

And Jesus answering, spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees ,.... All the Oriental versions, for "lawyers", read "Scribes": these, with the Pharisees, were got together in a body, in their brother Pharisee's house, to watch the motions of Christ; who knew their designs upon him, and the thoughts of their hearts, and made answer to them, by putting the following question; saying, is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day ? The occasion of the question was the object before him, whom Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:4

And they held their peace ,.... Or were silent, choosing to say nothing, which might countenance such an action; and yet knew not how to condemn it: and he took him , and healed him, and let him go ; he took him by the hand, or laid his hands on him; he touched him, and, it may be, stroked the part affected, and in an instant the prodigious swelling of his body came down: for he who at his rebuke could dry up the sea, could by a touch dry up such a quantity of water, as was in this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:5

And answered them, saying ,.... Murmuring secretly at what he had done: which of you shall have an ass, or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day ? being just ready to be drowned there; and therefore it must be much more right and necessary to cure a man, a reasonable creature, just drowning with a dropsy, as this man was. The Syriac and Persic versions, instead of "an ass", read "a son", very wrongly: a like kind of reasoning is used by Christ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:6

And they could not answer him again to these things ,.... The justice, equity, mercy, and humanity that appeared in our Lord's reasonings, and the cases he instanced in, being agreeable to their own tenets and practices, their mouths were shut up, and they could not return an answer to them, without being exposed, read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:7

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden ,.... To the dinner at the Pharisee's house, particularly the lawyers, or Scribes and Pharisees: when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms ; the uppermost places at the table, which these men loved, coveted, and sought after; See Gill on Matthew 23:6 . saying unto them ; as follows. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:8

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding ,.... To a wedding dinner, or to any other; such an one as the present entertainment was, which was not a marriage feast, for they might not marry on the sabbath day; See Gill on John 2:1 but a common sabbath meal: sit not down in the highest room : in the chief place at table, as soon as come in: lest a more honourable man ; for age, office, dignity, wisdom, learning, or riches: than thou be bidden of him : the master of the feast;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:9

And he that bade thee and him ,.... To the feast, and who is the master of it, and has a right to dispose of, and order his guests at his table, as he thinks fit: come and say to thee, give this man place ; pray rise up, and give this honourable man this seat, which is more suitable for a person of his rank and figure, and take another: and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room ; or place, which must unavoidably fill a man with shame and confusion; because hereby his pride... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:10

But when thou art bidden ,.... To an entertainment, and the time is come, go and sit down in the lowest room : place thyself at the lower end of the table, or in the most inferior seat; which will show humility and lowliness of mind, and prevent shame and mortification; since there can be no putting into a lower place, and there may be an advance to an higher: that when he that bade thee cometh ; into the dining room, and observe in what place thou art: he may say unto thee,... read more
