Again, Jesus is eating at the house of
one of the rulers of the Pharisees,
along with a number of lawyers and Pharisees - Lk 14:1-6.
He
had just told the parable of "Taking The Lowest Place" - Lk 14:7-11.
He
then tells His host that when he has a dinner or a supper, that he ought to
invite those who cannot repay him Lk 14:12-14. Jesus' comments prompt a response from
one who heard Him - Lk
14:15 "Blessed is he who shall eat bread
in the kingdom of God!" This saying was likely precipitated by
Jesus' reference to the being repaid at the resurrection of the just - cf. Lk 14:14. It
is this comment by the other guest that prompts Jesus to tell another parable.
