Luke 14:21

Luke 14:21. Being angry. God has ‘wrath' in such circumstances.

Go out quickly. This substitution of guests took place at once, both in the parable and in fact

Into the broad ways and streets of the city. Still in the city, i.e., among the Jews.

The poor, etc. The very same classes as in Luke 14:13. From these no excuses were to be feared: ‘the blind had no field to view, the lame could not go behind his oxen, the maimed had no wife who could have hindered him from coming; only the feeling of poverty could have held them back; but this feeling also vanishes, since they must be in a friendly way led in by the servant' (Van Oosterzee.) They represent the wretched and despised, ‘publicans and sinners,' whom the ‘servant' quickly brought in; since already they listened eagerly to the Saviour. But the absence of hindrance did not imply fitness for the feast.
