*
"And when one of. them that sat at
meat with. hint heard these things,
he said unto him, Blessed is he that
shall eat bread in the kingdom of
God." These words were -:pressed by
one sitting at the table with Christ,
probably in a very superficial way,
a pious expression not springing
from the heart, but from this Phari-
see's beatitude. Our Lord takes this
opportunity of giving the remarkable
parable of the great feast.
"But he said unto him, A certain
man made a great supper; and he
bade many." The word h re translat-
ed supper means the principal meal
in the day, not necessarily the even-
ing meal. It was the chief hour for
appeasing hunger; it was the chosen
time of fellowship and rest.
"Anti he sent forth his servant at
supper time to say to theta that were
bidden, Conte; for all things are now
ready," (For an Old Testament par-
allel, see Prov. 9 : 1-5) The servant
here referred to is the one sent to
remind the invited guests of the in-
vitation which had previously been
extended, a custom in those clays in
Palestine and one that still prevalis.
"And they all with one consent be-
gan to make excuse." The Greek
verb means to be left aside—to back
off. There is a great difference be-
tween a reason and an excuse. "The
first said unto hint, I have bought a
field, and I must needs go out and
see it; I pray thee have me excused."

".And the .servant came, and told
his lord these things. Then the piast-
er of the house being angry said to
his servant, Go: out quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city." The
two words combined stand for the
public places of the town in which
those who have no comfortable hom-
es are likely to be found.
"And bring in hither the poor and
maimed and blind and lame." Gener-
ally speaking, this would refer to the
publicans and sinners. The • great

word constrain, there is no thought
of compulsion, but rather of persu-
asion.
"For 1 say unto you, that none of
those risen that were bidden shall

is plural, this verse is probably the
language of our Lord indirectly as-
suming that his hearers would see
the bearing of this parable. It must
be remembered that Jesus had been
distinctly refused at Naeareth (4 :
29); at Jerusalem in Judaea (John
8 : 59); in Samaria (9 : 53 ; in Gali-
