LUKE 14:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”
Then the master told his servant, go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full — go to the roads and country lanes: the mission extends beyond the city to the surrounding rural areas — the Gentile mission implied in the geography. Make them come in (anankason, compel, urgently persuade): the urgency of the invitation communicates the host's determination to fill the house. The house will be full: the kingdom feast will not lack for guests.
