Luke 14:13-14

Context
14:13 But when you host an elaborate meal,¹ invite the poor, the crippled,² the lame, and³ the blind.⁴ 14:14 Then⁵ you will be blessed,⁶ because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid⁷ at the resurrection of the righteous.”

¹tn This term, δοχή (doch), is a third term for a meal (see v. 12) that could also be translated “banquet, feast.”

²sn Normally the term means crippled as a result of being maimed or mutilated (L&N 23.177).

³tn Here “and” has been supplied between the last two elements in the series in keeping with English style.

⁴sn This list of needy is like Luke 7:22. See Deut 14:28-29; 16:11-14; 26:11-13.

⁵tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate that this follows from the preceding action. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁶sn You will be blessed. God notes and approves of such generosity.

⁷sn The passive verb will be repaid looks at God’s commendation.
