Luke 14:22"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'
The setting
Galilee, ~30 AD. Jesus tells a parable to religious leaders who questioned why He ate with tax collectors and sinners. Modern-day Israel.
The emotion here: amazed at the master's persistence
The original word
eti (ἔτι) — still, yet, more room available
Why it matters
Roman banquets had strict social hierarchy - this parable shocked hearers by inviting street people
Read with care
What most readers miss in Luke 14:22
The servant reports back TWICE - first invitation failed, but God keeps making room
Common misconceptionPeople think this is about evangelism tactics, but it's actually about God's heart breaking for the excluded while the 'worthy' reject Him.
