Exegesis
The verse opens with the circumstantial participle elthon {ἐλθὼν | el-thōn} ‘having come,’ followed by the nominative participle kalesas {καλέσας | kalésas} ‘having called,’ both governed by the article ho {ὁ | ho}, forming “the one who invited.”
In context — Luke 14:9
And when the one who invited you and him comes, he will say to you, “Give this person the place,” and then you will begin, with shame, to occupy the lowest place.
