Commentary on Luke 14:7
Theological / DevotionalA parable. A “parable” need not be a narrative, it may be simply a short, pithy saying (see pp. 203, 204). The “parable” here given was probably based on Jesus’ immediate observation of the guests seating themselves at the table. He “marked” how the guests “chose out” the honored seats. It seems that contention similar to this took place among the disciples at the Last Supper (see on chapter 22:24).
Rooms. Rather, “reclining places.” For customs at a Jewish feast see on Mark 2:15-17. According to the Talmud the places of honor were those next to the host. Upon a later occasion Jesus, among other things, rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for seeking the places of honor at a feast (see Matthew 23:6).
