Exegesis
The dative phrase tō keklēkoti auton {τῷ κεκληκότι αὐτόν | tô ke-klē-kó-ti au-tón} uses a perfect participle to identify “the one who has invited Him,” establishing the host’s role.
In context — Luke 14:12
And He also spoke to the one who had invited Him, “When you prepare a dinner or supper, do not invite your friends, your brothers, your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest they, in turn, invite you back and there be repayment to you.”
