In Luke 14:13, the accusative plural masculine form names a group to invite when giving a banquet; the APB renders the list as “the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.” In Luke 14:21, the same form names those the slave is told to bring in from the streets and alleys; the APB again includes “the crippled” in the list.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Luke 14:13 and Luke 14:21, the APB includes “the crippled” within parallel lists of people to be invited or brought in. This presentation confirms the group described without establishing a finer distinction.
