Description
Summary:In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus gives the Pharisee a paradoxical teaching about whom one should invite to their home for a meal. This passage reveals a formal and thematic similarity to Plato's Phaedr. 233d-e, where the rhetorician Lysias considers a similar issue. The most likely explanation for this parallel is a direct dependence of Luke 14:12-14 on Phaedr. 233d-e
