This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
7. ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ οἰκίᾳ. Not ‘in the same house’ as in A. V[223] (which would require ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ) but ‘in this house.’ St Luke however is fond of the collocation αὐτῇ τῇ for the ἐκείνῃ τῇ of the other Evangelists. The perf. means that the kingdom ‘has drawn near,’ and therefore ‘is near.’
[223] A. V. Authorised Version.
ἔσθοντες καὶ πίνοντες τὰ παρ' αὐτῶν. As a plain right. 1Co 9:4; 1Co 9:7-11. τὰ παρ' αὐτῶν means ‘the things from them,’ i.e. what they give.
ἄξιος γὰρ ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ. Referred to by St Paul, 1Ti 5:18. Doubtless he may have been aware that our Lord had used it, but the saying was probably proverbial.
