Lucas 14:22

22 “Disse o servo: ‘O que o senhor ordenou foi feito, e ainda há lugar’.

Lucas 14:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:22

And the servant said
After he had been and brought in a large number of such as are before described, and he was directed to, and succeeded to the gathering of them in:

Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded;
the apostles exactly observed the orders of their Lord and master; they began to preach the Gospel at Jerusalem; and being drove from thence, they went and preached to the Jews of the dispersion, and to the proselytes among the Gentiles:

and yet there is room;
that is, for the Gentiles, after God's elect, among the Jews, for that time were gathered in: there was room provided for them in the heart and love of God from everlasting, and in electing grace; in the suretyship engagements of Christ, in the covenant of his grace; and they had a place in the redeeming grace of Christ, in time; and in the last commission he gave to his disciples; and there was now room for them in the church of God; and will be in the new Jerusalem, and in the heavenly glory.

Lucas 14:22 In-Context

20 “Ainda outro disse: ‘Acabo de me casar, por isso não posso ir’.

21 “O servo voltou e relatou isso ao seu senhor. Então o dono da casa irou-se e ordenou ao seu servo: ‘Vá rapidamente para as ruas e os becos da cidade e traga os pobres, os aleijados, os cegos e os mancos’.

22 “Disse o servo: ‘O que o senhor ordenou foi feito, e ainda há lugar’.

23 “Então o senhor disse ao servo: ‘Vá pelos caminhos e valados e obrigue-os a entrar, para que a minha casa fique cheia.

24 Eu digo a vocês: Nenhum daqueles que foram convidados provará do meu banquete’.”
