SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:14
y sers bienaventurado; porque no te pueden pagar; mas te ser pagado en la resurreccin de los justos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 14:14
Verse 14. For they cannot recompense thee] Because you have done it for God's sake only, and they cannot make you a recompense, therefore God will consider himself your debtor, and will recompense you in the resurrection of the righteous. There are many very excellent sayings among the rabbins on the excellence of charity. They produce both Job and Abraham as examples of a very merciful disposition. "Job, say they, had an open door on each of the four quarters of his house, that the poor, from whatever direction they might come, might find the door of hospitality open to receive them. But Abraham was more charitable than Job, for he traveled over the whole land in order to find out the poor, that he might conduct them to his house."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And thou shalt be blessed , etc.] By God, with an increase of worldly substance, or with spiritual blessings, and with eternal glory and happiness; and by these poor objects, who will pray to God for a blessing upon such a kind benefactor: for they cannot recompense thee ; by inviting again to a like entertainment, as rich guests can do, and when they have done that there is nothing else to be expected; but such that entertain the poor can have no return from them, and yet a retaliation will be made: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just ; when the just shall rise again, which will be the first resurrection; and happy is he that has part in it: for the righteous, or dead in Christ will rise first; and notice will be taken of the good works of the saints, particularly of their acts of beneficence to the poor members of Christ; and which they have done in faith, from a principle of love to Christ, and with a view to the glory of God, and the good of their fellow creatures and Christians.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-14 - Even in the common actions of life, Christ marks what we do, not onl in our religious assemblies, but at our tables. We see in many cases that a man's pride will bring him low, and before honour is humility Our Saviour here teaches, that works of charity are better than work of show. But our Lord did not mean that a proud and unbelievin liberality should be rewarded, but that his precept of doing good to the poor and afflicted should be observed from love to him.
