Contextual Overview
7And He spoke an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying to them, 8"When you may be called by anyone to wedding feasts, you may not recline on the first couch, lest [one] more honorable than you may have been called by him, 9and he who called you and him having come will say to you, Give to this one [your] place, and then you may begin to occupy the last place with shame. 10But when you may be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called you may come, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; then you will have glory before those dining with you; 11because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted." 12And He also said to him who called Him, "When you may make an early meal or a dinner, do not be calling your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they may also call you again, and a repayment may come to you; 13but when you may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,14and you will be blessed, because they have nothing to repay you, for it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the righteous."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when thou makest a feast,.... An entertainment for others, a dinner, or a supper:
call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind; that is, the poor maimed, the poor lame, and the poor blind; otherwise it is possible that rich men may be maimed, lame, and blind; whereas these are not intended, but such who are in indigent circumstances, that stand in need of a meal, and to whom it is welcome.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The poor - Those who are destitute of comfortable food.
The maimed - Those who are deprived of any member of their body, as an arm or a leg or who have not the use of them so that they can labor for their own support.
