James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 14:14

THE GENERAL RESURRECTION‘Thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.’ Luke 14:14 Most people expect to receive the reward of good service done to God, so soon as they leave this world and enter heaven. But our Lord says, ‘Thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.’ The hope set before us is the hope of receiving the reward of dutiful service at the resurrection, and not before. The condition after death is one of expectancy and not one of fruition. I. The great... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:1-35

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:7-11

The Warning Against Being One Of Those Who Seeks Out The Chief Seats (14:7-11). This passage is parallel in the chiasmus with those who are to seek, not food and clothing, but the Kingly Rule of God, and to have their minds set on Heaven (Luke 12:22-34). Those described here are the opposite of that. They are concerned to have the chief seats on earth, and to exalt themselves. They seek glory on earth (how like the disciples, and the Pharisees, and how opposite to what God wants them and us to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:10

“But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you, “Friend, go up higher.” Then you will have glory in the presence of all who sit at meat with you.” What they should rather do is come early and take the lowest seat in the first place. Then the host will see them there, and recognising their deserved status will come and say, “Friend, go up higher.” Then all who are at the meal will recognise their promotion and they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:11

“For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” As so often the story is capped by a maxim. The one who exalts himself will find that he is at some stage humbled. He will find that he thinks more highly of himself than others think of him, and the result will be that all will at some stage know it, and he will be brought crashing down. And if it does not happen in this world, then it will happen in the Judgment. But the one who humbles himself... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:12

‘And he said to him also who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbours, in case they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made to you.” ’ The passage begins with Jesus suggesting to His host, the ruler who was a Pharisee (Luke 14:1), that when next time he makes a supper or dinner he should not invite those who will return his invitation and thus recompense him for what he has done. For there is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:12-24

The Great Supper Will Be Attended By Unexpected Guests Because Those First Invited Have Made Excuses In Order To Avoid Attending (14:12-24). In the previous parable Jesus had hinted at the danger of not partaking in the future life because they were too proud. Now He makes clear that most of those present will not be there in the everlasting kingdom because they have refused the King’s invitation to partake in the Kingly Rule of God. The introduction and the parallel have a twofold message. ·... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:13-14

‘But when you make a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they have no means with which to recompense you, for you will be recompensed in the resurrection of the righteous.” What he should rather do is invite the poor and needy, who have no way of recompensing him, and then he will be blessed, and he will receive his recompense in the heavenly kingdom, a recompense far greater and more lasting than any recompense on earth. The promise of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 14:1-24

Luke 14:1-Jeremiah : . A Sabbath with a Pharisee.— A companion picture to Luke 13:10-Esther :. When in Luke 6:6-1 Kings : Lk. relates the cure of the man with a withered hand ( Mark 3:1-Joshua :, Matthew 12:9-1 Chronicles :) he omits the illustrative argument used by Jesus ( Matthew 12:11 f.); he brings it in here in a story peculiar to his gospel. Montefiore justly points out that the animals ( Luke 14:5; cf. Luke 13:15) are in danger of perishing, whereas the woman and man would not have... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 14:8-11

Two or three moral instructions we have in this parable. 1. That the law of Christ justifieth none in any rudeness and incivility. 2. That the disciples of Christ ought to have a regard to their reputation, to do nothing they may be ashamed of. 3. That it is according to the will of God, that honour should be given to those to whom honour belongeth; that the more honourable persons should sit in the more honourable places. Grace gives men no exterior preference; though it makes men all... read more
