Exegesis
The purpose clause hina {ἵνα | hí-na} ‘so that’ governs the subjunctive gemisthe {γεμισθῇ | ge-mis-thê} ‘may be filled’, and the genitive pronoun mou attaches possession to oikos, indicating the Lord’s desire for His household to reach capacity. The two-step command and inclusive spatial imagery emphasize divine hospitality extended beyond traditional venues.
In context — Luke 14:23
And the Lord said to the servant, “Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.”
