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 everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12 Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13 But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14 and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15 When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
