Contextual Overview
7 And he spoke a parable to those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying to them, 8 When you are bidden of any man to a marriage feast, don't sit down in the chief seat; lest perhaps a more honorable man than you be bidden of him, 9 and he that bade you and him shall come and say to you, Give this man place; and then you shall begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that has bidden you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then you shall have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with you. 11 For everyone that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted. 12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest perhaps they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you. 13 But when you make a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 and you shall be blessed; because they don't have [the means] to recompense you: for you shall be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

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.
