Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 14:21

The servant has done his duty and returns to make his strange report. ὀργισθεὶς, enraged; no wonder. ἔξελθε ταχέως, go out quickly; no time to be lost, as all things are ready, but the thing chiefly to be noted is how the word answers to the master's mood πλατείας καὶ ῥύμας, broad streets and narrow lanes (Matthew 6:2, q.v.); all sorts of people to be met with there and many of them: invitation to be broadcast, no one to be shunned however poor or unsightly; the poor, maimed, blind, and halt rather to be preferred, therefore expressly named such is the master's mood in his disgust at the behaviour of the well-to-do, propertied, happy classes a violent but natural reaction.
