29. Come from the east. Here Jesus quotes, in part, the words of Isa. 49:12, which refer to the ingathering of the Gentiles into the household of God (see IV, 26-33).
Sit down. Literally, “recline,” the usual posture at feasts (see on Mark 2:15). To sit down at the feast of the Messianic kingdom was a common Jewish way of referring to the joys of that kingdom (see on Luke 14:15; Rev. 19:9).
