Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 14:7

7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

A Parable here hath something a different signification, from what it more ordinarily hath in the Evangelists, it usually signifies a Similitude, here it signifies either a Wise saying, or a Dark saying, by which he intended something further then in the Parable he expressed, which he expoundeth v. 11. we may observe from hence, that the Dining of Friends together on the Lords Day is not Unlawful, only they ought to look to their discourses, that they be sutable to the Day.
