Luca 14:22

22 Poi il servitore disse: Signore, s’è fatto come hai comandato, e ancora c’è posto.

Luca 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.

Luca 14:22 In-Context

20 E un altro disse: Ho preso moglie, e perciò non posso venire.

21 E il servitore, tornato, riferì queste cose al suo signore. Allora il padron di casa, adiratosi, disse al suo servitore: Va’ presto per le piazze e per le vie della città, e mena qua i poveri, gli storpi, i ciechi e gli zoppi.

22 Poi il servitore disse: Signore, s’è fatto come hai comandato, e ancora c’è posto.

23 E il signore disse al servitore: Va’ fuori per le strade e lungo le siepi, e costringili ad entrare, affinché la mia casa sia piena.

24 Perché io vi dico che nessuno di quegli uomini ch’erano stati invitati assaggerà la mia cena.
