A.T. Robertson Commentary
"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)
Being angry (οργισθεις). First aorist (ingressive) passive, becoming angry.
Quickly (ταχεως). The dinner is ready and no time is to be lost. The invitation goes still to those in the city.
Streets and lanes (τας πλατειας κα ρυμας). Broadways and runways (broad streets and narrow lanes).
Maimed (αναπειρους). So Westcott and Hort for the old word αναπηρους, due to itacism (ει=η in pronunciation). The word is compounded of ανα and πηρος, lame all the way up.
