Luca 14:24

24 Perché io vi dico che nessuno di quegli uomini ch’erano stati invitati assaggerà la mia cena.

Luca 14:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:24

For I say unto you
Most solemnly affirm it, and even swear to it, nothing is more certain, or will be found more true:

that none of those men that were bidden:
the impenitent and unbelieving Jews, the Scribes, and Pharisees, and the greater part of the nation; who first had the Gospel published to them, who are the many that were called, though few were chosen, and therefore came not; nor did, nor

shall taste of my supper:
nor had they so much as a superficial knowledge of the Gospel, of the truths, blessings, promises, and ordinances of it; being given up to judicial blindness and hardness of heart; and from whom, in a little while, the Gospel was wholly taken; and is not yet afforded to them as a body; nor will till the latter day, when the veil shall be taken away, and they shall turn to the Lord, and all Israel shall be saved; but as for the first disbelievers and rejecters of Christ among the Jews, they died in their sins, and perished eternally.

Luca 14:24 In-Context

22 Poi il servitore disse: Signore, s’è fatto come hai comandato, e ancora c’è posto.
23 E il signore disse al servitore: Va’ fuori per le strade e lungo le siepi, e costringili ad entrare, affinché la mia casa sia piena.
24 Perché io vi dico che nessuno di quegli uomini ch’erano stati invitati assaggerà la mia cena.
25 Or molte turbe andavano con lui; ed egli, rivoltosi, disse loro:
26 Se uno viene a me e non odia suo padre, e sua madre, e la moglie, e i fratelli, e le sorelle, e finanche la sua propria vita, non può esser mio discepolo.
