Luk 14:15, 22:30 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 15. That shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. ] This is spoken in conformity to the general expectation of the Jews, who imagined that the kingdom of the Messiah should be wholly of a secular nature. Instead of αρτον, bread , EKMS-V, more than one hundred others, with some versions and fathers , read αριστον, a dinner . This is probably the best reading, as it is likely it was a dinner at which they now sat; and it would be natural for the person to say, Happy is he who shall dine in the kingdom of God . It does not appear that there was any but this person present, who was capable of relishing the conversation of our Lord, or entering at all into its spiritual reference.
