Context of Luke 14:24

22Then the slave said, ‘Sir, what you instructed has been done, and there is still room.’ 23So the master said to his slave, ‘Go out to the highways and country roads and urge people to come in, so that my house will be filled. For I tell you, not one of those individuals who were invited will taste my banquet!’” 25Now large crowds were accompanying Jesus, and turning to them he said, 26“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

• 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.

It shows also the backwardness there is to close with the gospel call. The want of gratitude in those who slight gospel offers…Read the comment

Meanwhile, poor people and outcasts accepted the invitation (see also 1:52–53; 6:21, 25; 10:15; 18:14).Read the comment
• 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
