Lucas 14:22

22 Depois disse o servo: Senhor, feito está como o ordenaste, 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: Casei-me e portanto não posso ir.

21 Voltou o servo e contou tudo isto a seu senhor: Então o dono da casa, indignado, disse a seu servo: Sai depressa para as ruas e becos da cidade e traze aqui os pobres, os aleijados, os cegos e os coxos.

22 Depois disse o servo: Senhor, feito está como o ordenaste, e ainda há lugar.

23 Respondeu o senhor ao servo: Sai pelos caminhos e valados, e obriga-os a entrar, para que a minha casa se encha.

24 Pois eu vos digo que nenhum daqueles homens que foram convidados provará a minha ceia.
