Lukas 14:22

22 En de dienstknecht zeide: Heer, het is geschied, gelijk gij bevolen hebt, en nog is er plaats.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 14:22 In-Context

20 En een ander zeide: Ik heb een vrouw getrouwd, en daarom kan ik niet komen.
21 En dezelve dienstknecht weder gekomen zijnde, boodschapte deze dingen zijn heer. Toen werd de heer des huizes toornig, en zeide tot zijn dienstknecht: Ga haastelijk uit in de straten en wijken der stad, en breng de armen, en verminkten, en kreupelen, en blinden hier in.
22 En de dienstknecht zeide: Heer, het is geschied, gelijk gij bevolen hebt, en nog is er plaats.
23 En de heer zeide tot den dienstknecht: Ga uit in de wegen en heggen; en dwing ze in te komen, opdat mijn huis vol worde;
24 Want ik zeg ulieden, dat niemand van die mannen, die genood waren, mijn avondmaal smaken zal.
