ルカの福音書 14:21-24 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 14:15-24

Here is another discourse of our Saviour?s, in which he spiritualizes the feast he was invited to, which is another way of keeping up good discourse in the midst of common actions. I. The occasion of the discourse was given by one of the guests, who, when Christ was giving rules about feasting, said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God (Luke 14:15), which, some tell us, was a saying commonly used among the rabbin. 1. But with what design does this man bring it in... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 14:15-24

14:15-24 When one of those who were sitting at table with Jesus heard this, he said, "Happy is the man who eats bread in the kingdom of God." Jesus said to him, "There was a man who made a great banquet, and who invited many people to it. At the time of the banquet he sent his servants to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, because everything is now ready.' With one accord they all began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please... 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

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

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
