Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 14:24

"For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper." — Luke 14:24 (ASV)

None of those men which were bidden . . .—Here again we may not press a literal interpretation of the parable. The absolute exclusion of the whole company of the first-invited guests has its anti-type in the general rejection of Israel from fellowship with the Church of Christ. It lies in the very nature of a parable that it deals roughly with general facts, and so it passes over in this instance what would correspond to the admission of a chosen few, the remnant according to the election of grace (Romans 11:5).
