ISB ~ Luke 13 v29

east … west … north … south:Christ invites his family from the ends of the earth to celebrate with the patriarchs.

• Jesus evokes OT prophecies that depict Yahweh regathering the exiled children of Israel from the four points of the compass (Ps 107:3; Is 11:12; 43:5-6). The celebration banquet will include Israelites and Gentiles in the one family of God (24:47; Rev 5:9). See note on Lk 1:33.
