Study note
Setting — The servant addresses his master after completing the initial command to gather the marginalized from the city streets and alleys. The words — κύριε (kurie) = Sir marks the servant’s respectful reply, while ἐπέταξας (epetaxas) = you did command confirms the master’s prior directive has been executed. The thread — The motif of filling a house appears in John 14:2 regarding many rooms in the Father’s house, while the call to gather outsiders echoes the grace theme in Ephesians 3:8. Why it lands — It demands recognition that the invitation has been extended and that the space remains open for further response.
