“And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.”
One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched — the third Sabbath dinner in Luke (5:29, 7:36, and now 14:1). Being carefully watched (paratēroumenoi, watching closely, under surveillance): the dinner invitation is also a scrutiny operation. The prominent Pharisee's table is where Jesus will be observed and tested.
