# you

Here "you" is plural and refers to "those who were following him" in [Matthew 8:10](../08/10.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])

# from the east and the west

Using the opposites "east" and "west" is a way of saying "everywhere." Alternate translation: "from everywhere" or "from far away in every direction" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-merism]])

# recline at the table

People in that culture would lie down beside the table while eating. This phrase indicates that all those at the table are family and close friends. The joy in the kingdom of God is frequently spoken of as if the people there were feasting. Alternate translation: "live as family and friends" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# in the kingdom of heaven

Here "kingdom of heaven" refers to God's rule as king. The phrase "kingdom of heaven" is used only in the book of Matthew. If possible, keep "heaven" in your translation. Alternate translation: "when our God in heaven shows that he is king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
