Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 14:21

"And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame." — Luke 14:21 (ASV)

Showed his lord. He told his master about the excuses of those who had been invited. Their conduct was remarkable, and it was his duty to inform him about how his invitation had been received.

Being angry. He was angry with the men who had slighted his invitation, who had so insulted him by neglecting his feast and, for such reasons, preferring their own gratification to his friendship and hospitality.

So it is no wonder that God is angry with the wicked every day. So foolish and wicked is the sinner's conduct, and so trifling is their excuse for not repenting and turning to God, that it is no wonder God can only look upon their conduct with abhorrence.

Go out quickly. The feast is ready. There is no time to lose. Those who partake of it must do so soon. So the gospel is ready; time flies; and those who partake of the gospel must do so soon, and those who preach it must be diligent in proclaiming it to their fellow human beings.

The streets and lanes of the city. These were the places where the poor, and so on, would be found. Those first invited were the rich, who lived at ease in their own houses. By these, the Jews were intended; by those who were in the streets, the Gentiles. Our Lord delivered this parable to show the Jews that the Gentiles would be called into the kingdom of God. They despised the Gentiles and considered them cast out and worthless, just as they regarded those who were in the lanes of the city.

The maimed, and so on. See Barnes' notes on Matthew 14:13.

Regarding the word halt, see Psalm 38:7; Isaiah 33:23; Isaiah 35:6.
