Luke 14:1 KJV
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Luke 14:7 KJV
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
Verse one says "they watched Him. "
Verse seven says "He marked how they…"
They were watching Him but equally important, and for eternal reasons, vastly more important is that He was
• Watching
• Taking note of, in some regard
• Keeping record of them
They watched Him looking for that thing they might accuse Him of.
He marked them, seeking some means to improve their standing with the Father.
His message, to those bidden has both earthly and eternal application. His message for mankind is the same. Jesus is mocked, scoffed and hated today. But His only real desire is to be a blessing to souls.
His message to the host has its only reward in eternity. That speaks also. Though there may be rewards for well doing on earth, the only ones that have any real significance are heavenly ones.
