Luke 14:16

Context
14:16 But Jesus 1  said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet 2  and invited 3  many guests. 4 

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Or “dinner.”

3 sn Presumably those invited would have sent a reply with the invitation stating their desire to attend, much like a modern R.S.V.P. Then they waited for the servant to announce the beginning of the celebration (D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1272).

4 tn The word “guests” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
