Introduction
It would seem that whatever rudeness modern sceptics have found in the severe language of our Lord to Pharisees at their own table, these Pharisees were themselves very apt to repeat the invitation. It is often the case that men return, again and again, to hear the preaching of ministers Who offend them through a wounded conscience. Our Lord is on the present occasion a central object for all eyes and ears, while he himself is calmly at perfect ease. A miracle is performed; a standing controversy is agitated and apparently settled, Luke 14:2-6; some admonitions on humility of heart and conduct are administered them, Luke 14:7-11; a method of giving feasts which God will reward is prescribed to his entertainer, Luke 14:12-14; and a warning against failing to attend the final feast of the Son of man, Luke 14:15-24, completes this discourse of feasts at a feast.
