From BibleWiki
36: ηρωτα δε τις αυτον των φαρισαιων ινα φαγη μετ αυτου και εισελθων εις την οικιαν του φαρισαιου ανεκλιθη
36: And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
meat.
36: And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went
into the house of the Pharisee and sat down to meat.
One of the Pharisees. His name was Simon, Lk 7:10. Nothing
more is known of him. It is not improbable, however, from what follows
(Lk 7:40ff), that he had been healed by Jesus of some afflictive
disease, and made this feast to show his gratitude.
Sat down to meat. The original word here means only that he placed himself or reclined at the table. The notion of sitting at meals is taken from modern customs, and was not practised by the Jews. See "Mt 23:6".
Meat. Supper. Food of any kind. Sat down to eat.
