such as was provided for our Lord by his friends in Bethany (

after the custom of the Romans ,
and were partaken of toward the close of the day .
It was usual to send a second invitation (

17 )
to those who had been already invited .
When the whole company was assembled ,
the master of the house shut the door with his own hands (

Matt .
25 :
10 ).
The guests were first refreshed with water and fragrant oil (

33 ),
or according to the rank they held (
Prov .
25 :
6 ,
7 ;
Matt .
23 :
6 ;
Luke 14 :
7 ).
As spoons and knives and forks are a modern invention ,
and were altogether unknown in the East ,
the hands alone were necessarily used ,
and were dipped in the dish ,
which was common to two of the guests (
John 13 :
26 ).
In the days of our Lord the guests reclined at table ;
but the ancient Israelites sat around low tables ,
cross -
legged ,
like the modern Orientals .
Guests were specially honoured when extra portions were set before them (
Gen .
43 :
34 ),
and when their cup was filled with wine till it ran over (
Ps .
23 :
5 ).
The hands of the guests were usually cleaned by being rubbed on bread ,
the crumbs of which fell to the ground ,
and were the portion for dogs (
Matt .
15 :
27 ;
Luke 16 :
21 ).
At the time of the three annual festivals at Jerusalem family banquets were common .
To these the "
widow ,
and the fatherless ,
and the stranger "
were welcome (

16 :
11 ).
Sacrifices also included a banquet (

15 ;
Judg .
16 :

19 ,
22 ). (
