Lucas 14:14

14 y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden pagar; mas te será pagado en la resurrección de los justos

Lucas 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:14

And thou shalt be blessed
By God, with an increase of worldly substance, or with spiritual blessings, and with eternal glory and happiness; and by these poor objects, who will pray to God for a blessing upon such a kind benefactor:

for they cannot recompense thee;
by inviting again to a like entertainment, as rich guests can do, and when they have done that there is nothing else to be expected; but such that entertain the poor can have no return from them, and yet a retaliation will be made:

for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just;
when the just shall rise again, which will be the first resurrection; and happy is he that has part in it: for the righteous, or dead in Christ will rise first; and notice will be taken of the good works of the saints, particularly of their acts of beneficence to the poor members of Christ; and which they have done in faith, from a principle of love to Christ, and with a view to the glory of God, and the good of their fellow creatures and Christians.

13 Mas cuando hagas banquete, llama a los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos

14 y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden pagar; mas te será pagado en la resurrección de los justos

15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados a la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el Reino de los cielos

16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una gran cena, y llamó a muchos
