People's Bible Notes for Luke 14:21


Lu 14:21 Go out quickly. To another class of persons. The first, who despised the invitation, are now rejected. The Jews are primarily meant. The poor, etc. An abundant class in the East, a country destitute of alms-houses and hospitals. These probably represent the publicans and sinners.
