13 But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

Luke 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:13

But when thou makest a feast
An entertainment for others, a dinner, or a supper:

call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;
that is, the poor maimed, the poor lame, and the poor blind; otherwise it is possible that rich men may be maimed, lame, and blind; whereas these are not intended, but such who are in indigent circumstances, that stand in need of a meal, and to whom it is welcome.

Luke 14:13 In-Context

11 For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

12 And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

13 But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

14 And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

15 And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.
