14:15-24 This parable portrays what was happening in Jesus’ ministry. The rich, powerful, and elite rejected Jesus’ invitation to God’s salvation banquet and would be shut out. Meanwhile, poor people and outcasts responded to the invitation (see also 1:52-53; 6:21, 25; 10:15; 18:14).
The Messianic Banquet
Through his teaching and miracles, Jesus announced that the messianic banquet was about to be served. All may come and feast at the table of salvation in God’s Kingdom.
Jesus described his ministry as a wedding feast, with himself as the groom (Luke 5:33-35) and the Kingdom of God as a great banquet. All were invited, but some refused to come (Luke 14:15-24; see also Matt 8:11-12). Jesus often ate with diverse people, from despised tax collectors to pious Pharisees (5:29-32; 7:36-50; 11:37-41; 14:1-6). Jesus also used imagery of feasting and banquets in his teaching and parables (5:33-35; 12:35-38; 14:7-14, 15-24; 17:7-10; 22:28-30). And he fed vast multitudes with a few loaves and fishes (9:10-17).
The Old Testament background to this feasting imagery is Isa 25:6, where God’s final salvation is described as a great feast for all people: “The Lord of Heaven’s Armies will spread a wonderful feast for all the people of the world. It will be a delicious banquet, with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat” (see also Isa 65:13-14).
Jesus’ public ministry marked the invitation to the banquet and its inauguration. Through his death and resurrection, he achieved salvation. All people can now come to God’s banquet table and receive the spiritual blessings of the Kingdom. At the same time, this banquet awaits its final consummation in the future Kingdom, when Jesus’ disciples will “eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom” and “sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Luke 22:30; see also Rev 19:7-9).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων, γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου
˱I˲_/am/_saying for ˱to˲_you_all that no_one ¬the ˱of˲_men those ¬which /having_been/_invited /will_be/_tasting ˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
The master is using a future statement to express the result he desires from the instructions he has just given his servants. Alternate translation: “For I say to you that I do not want any of those men who were invited to taste of my supper”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων, γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου
˱I˲_/am/_saying for ˱to˲_you_all that no_one ¬the ˱of˲_men those ¬which /having_been/_invited /will_be/_tasting ˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
While the word you is singular in 14:21–23 because the master and the servant are addressing one another individually, here the word you is plural. It is not clear why. Possibly it may be assumed that other servants have been helping and that the master is now addressing all of the servants at once. In that case, it would make sense to translate you using the plural form, if your language marks that distinction.
λέγω & ὑμῖν
˱I˲_/am/_saying & ˱to˲_you_all
The master says this to emphasize what he is telling his servants. Alternate translation: “I can assure you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων, γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου
˱I˲_/am/_saying for ˱to˲_you_all that no_one ¬the ˱of˲_men those ¬which /having_been/_invited /will_be/_tasting ˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “The master told all of his servants that he did not want any of the men he had invited to taste his supper”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων
¬the ˱of˲_men those
Here, the word for men means “male adults,” not people in general. So it would be appropriate to use a specifically masculine term in your translation.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τῶν κεκλημένων
¬the ¬which /having_been/_invited
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “whom I invited”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου
/will_be/_tasting ˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
The master may be using the word taste to mean eating the meal. Alternate translation: “will enjoy the dinner that I have prepared”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου
/will_be/_tasting ˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
Alternatively, the master may be making an extreme statement for emphasis. Alternate translation: “will get even a taste of the dinner that I have prepared”
μου τοῦ δείπνου
˱of˲_me ˱of˲_the supper
By this expression, the master does not mean his own meal, but the dinner that he has prepared for others. Alternate translation: “the dinner that I have prepared”
