John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:15

And when one of them that sat at meat with him ,.... One of the Scribes, lawyers, or Pharisees, that were guests at this feast: heard these things : which were spoken by Christ, and was pleased and affected with them, though he was ignorant: he said unto him, blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God ; in the world to come, in the kingdom of the Messiah; concerning feasting in which, the Jews had entertained very gross notions; and which this man was reminded of by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:16

Then said he unto him ,.... That is, Jesus, as the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions express it; he said to the man that was so affected with the happiness of such that shall share in the provisions of the Messiah's kingdom; a certain man made a great supper : by which is meant not the Lord's supper, which was not as yet instituted; nor the supper of the Lamb, which will be at the end of the world; but the Gospel dispensation, which was now taking place, and the provisions of it in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:17

And sent his servant at supper time ,.... Either John the Baptist, the harbinger and forerunner of Christ, who declared that the kingdom of heaven, or the Gospel dispensation, was at hand; and exhorted the people to believe in Christ that should come after him; or Christ himself, who is God's servant as man, of his choosing and appointing, and whom he sent in the fulness of time in the form of a servant, as the minister of the circumcision, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:18

And they all with one consent began to make excuse ,.... Or, "they all together", as the Vulgate Latin version, באחת , "in one", or "at once": in Jeremiah 10:8 rendered "altogether"; and so the Ethiopic version, which adds, "with one voice": but their words and language were not the same: their excuses are differently expressed. Some render απο μιας , "from one hour": or the selfsame hour; immediately, directly, as soon as ever they were bidden, they began to frame excuses; they at... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:19

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen ,.... To plough the field with, and I go to prove them : this also being at, or near evening, was an unsuitable time to go into the field with yokes of oxen to try them, how they would draw the plough, and work in the field; the morning would have been a much more proper time: I pray thee have me excused ; to the master of the feast: this man represents also the carnal and worldly Jews, who preferred temporal things before spiritual. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:20

And another said, I have married a wife, .... And his pretence might be, that he had his own marriage feast, and friends to attend, nor could he leave his wife directly; but his circumstances were such as made an invitation to a feast the more agreeable, and he might have brought his wife and friends along with him, who would have been as welcome as himself: and therefore I cannot come . The Arabic version renders it, "therefore I will not go": this man is more rustic and rude than the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 14:21

So that servant came and showed his Lord these things ,.... The several excuses which those that were bidden to the supper made. So the ministers of the Gospel come to God and Christ, and give an account of the success of their ministry, which is often with grief, and not with joy: then the master of the house being angry ; as well he might, at their ingratitude to him, their slighting of his kindness, and the contempt they poured upon his entertainment. Christ resented the impenitence... read more

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
