Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Entonces Jesús se dirigió al hombre que lo había invitado y le dijo: 'Escucha, cuando hagas una cena o banquete, no invites solo a tus amigos, hermanos, parientes o vecinos ricos, es decir, a quienes pueden invitarte de vuelta y devolverte el favor.'
Jesús enseña que no debemos invitar solo a quienes pueden devolvernos el favor.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jesus was attending a Sabbath meal at the house of a prominent Pharisee, where he observed and critiqued the social customs of first-century Jewish society that emphasized reciprocal invitations to maintain status and relationships. This teaching was part of Jesus' broader ministry, where he often used everyday situations like banquets to challenge hypocrisy and promote God's kingdom values of humility and genuine generosity. It highlights a cultural norm where hospitality was typically exchanged among equals, rather than extended to the marginalized.
