G. The Son of Man Mating and Drinking. Luke 14:1-241. The Healing of the Dropsical Man and the Beginning of the Discourses at Table (Luke 14:1-14)(Luke 14:1-11, Gospel for the 6th Sunday after Trinity.)1And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat2bread on the sabbath day, that they watched [were watching] him. And, behold,there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. 3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it... read more

Luke THE LESSONS OF A FEAST Luk_14:1 - Luk_14:14 . Jesus never refused an invitation, whether the inviter were a Pharisee or a publican, a friend or a foe. He never mistook the disposition of His host. He accepted ‘greetings where no kindness is,’ and on this occasion there was none. The entertainer was a spy, and the feast was a trap. What a contrast between the malicious watchers at the table, ready to note and to interpret in the worst sense every action of His, and Him loving and... read more

Lessons for Guests and Hosts Luke 14:7-14 The word rooms should be seats, r.v. We must, of course, guard against a false humility, which chooses a low seat in the hope of being invited forward. Let us seek it, because we are absolutely careless of prominence except as it gives us wider opportunity. The unconscious humility and meekness of a little child are very dear to Christ. Dwell on your own defects and on the excellencies of others till you realize that you are the least of all... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 14:1-35

Nothing escaped the notice of Jesus. He saw the guests in the house, and their method of procedure in seeking the chief seats. As He watched, He enunciated two great truths of social application. First, He criticized those seeking precedence; and, second, He criticized a hospitality which was extended in the hope of recompense. One of the guests, moved by the word of the Master, exclaimed, "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God." In the parable that followed, the Lord... read more

Humility and Exaltation Luke 14:7-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The Lord Jesus had a right to teach humility. Christ Jesus was very God of very God, dwelling in light unapproachable, and yet He humbled Himself, and was found in fashion as a man. Certainly Christ had a right to teach humility, because He practiced it, and lived it. Christ said that an invited guest should take the lowest seat, lest one more noble than he should enter, and he should be asked to pass down to the lowest seat. Christ... read more

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 14:12

‘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

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

‘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

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
