SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:17

Y a la hora de la cena envi a su siervo a decir a los llamados: Venid, que ya est todo aparejado.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 14:17

Verse 17. Sent his
servant] Messengers are sent to invite the guests to a Hindoo feast; when not only relations, but all persons of the same division of caste in the neighbourhood, are invited. A refusal to attend is considered as a great affront.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. And sent his
servant at supper time , etc.] Either John the Baptist, the harbinger and forerunner of Christ, who declared that the kingdom of heaven, or the Gospel dispensation, was at hand; and exhorted the people to believe in Christ that should come after him; or Christ himself, who is God's servant as man, of his choosing and appointing, and whom he sent in the fulness of time in the form of a servant, as the minister of the circumcision, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and to call sinners to repentance; or servant may be put for servants, since in ( Matthew 22:3,4) mention is made of more; and so the Persic version here; which parable bears some likeness to this, if it is not the same; and may design the apostles of Christ, who were the servants of the most high God, and the ministers of Christ, who were first sent by him to preach the Gospel to the Jews, and to them only for a while: to say to them that were bidden, come : this call, or invitation, was not the internal call, which is a fruit of love, and by grace, and of mighty power; to special blessings, grace, and glory; and is irresistible, effectual, and unchangeable: but external, to outward ordinances: and is often slighted and neglected; and is sometimes of persons who are neither chosen, nor sanctified, nor saved: for all things are now ready ; the Syriac version adds, for you: righteousness, pardon of sin, peace, and reconciliation, sin put away by the sacrifice of Christ, redemption obtained, and life and salvation secured; which shows the perfection of the present dispensation, and the large provisions of the Gospel, to which nothing is, or can be brought to be added to them, or qualify for them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-24 - In this
parable observe the free grace and mercy of God shining in the gospel of Christ, which will be food and a feast for the soul of a ma that knows its own wants and miseries. All found some pretence to pu off their attendance. This reproves the Jewish nation for their neglec of the offers of Christ's grace. It shows also the backwardness ther is to close with the gospel call. The want of gratitude in those wh slight gospel offers, and the contempt put upon the God of heave thereby, justly provoke him. The apostles were to turn to the Gentiles when the Jews refused the offer; and with them the church was filled The provision made for precious souls in the gospel of Christ, has no been made in vain; for if some reject, others will thankfully accep the offer. The very poor and low in the world, shall be as welcome to Christ as the rich and great; and many times the gospel has the greatest success among those that labour under worldly disadvantage and bodily infirmities. Christ's house shall at last be filled; it wil be so when the number of the elect is completed.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

14:17 {His
servant} (ton doulon autou). His bondservant. _Vocator_ or Summoner (#Es 5:8; 6:14). this second summons was the custom qen as now with wealthy Arabs. Tristram (_Eastern Customs_, p. 82) says: "To refuse the second summons would be an insult, which is equivalent among the Arab tribes to a declaration of war."
