Luke 14:10
Context14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host 4 approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ 5 Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.


[15:15] 1 tn Grk “joined himself to” (in this case an idiom for beginning to work for someone).
[15:15] 2 tn Grk “and he.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) and the personal pronoun have been translated by a relative pronoun to improve the English style.
[15:15] 3 sn To a Jew, being sent to the field to feed pigs would be an insult, since pigs were considered unclean animals (Lev 11:7).
[14:10] 4 tn Grk “the one who invited you.”
[14:10] 5 tn Grk “Go up higher.” This means to move to a more important place.
