Lucas 14:22

22 “Señor —le dijo luego el siervo—, ya hice lo que usted me mandó, pero todavía hay 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 Otro alegó: “Acabo de casarme y por eso no puedo ir”.

21 El siervo regresó y le informó de esto a su señor. Entonces el dueño de la casa se enojó y le mandó a su siervo: “Sal de prisa por las plazas y los callejones del pueblo, y trae acá a los pobres, a los inválidos, a los cojos y a los ciegos”.

22 “Señor —le dijo luego el siervo—, ya hice lo que usted me mandó, pero todavía hay lugar”.

23 Entonces el señor le respondió: “Ve por los caminos y las veredas, y oblígalos a entrar para que se llene mi casa.

24 Les digo que ninguno de aquellos invitados disfrutará de mi banquete”.
