Context of Luke 14:24
22And later the slave said, ‘Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23And the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the roads and the hedges and press upon them to come in, so that my house will be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my dinner.’” 25Now large crowds were going along with Him, and He turned and said to them, 26“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

Commentaries on Luke 14:24
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24For I say unto you - These may be considered as the words of Jesus, making an application of the parable to the Pharisees before him.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 15-2415-24. when one ... heard ... he said, Blessed, &c.--As our Lord's words seemed to hold forth the future "recompense" under the idea of a great Feast, the thought passes through this man's mind, how blessed they would be who should be honored to sit down to it. Our Lord's reply is in substance this: "The great Feast is prepared already; the invitations are issued, but declined; the feast, notwithstanding, shall not want abundance of guests; but not one of…Read the comment
