dinner

Concise Bible Dictionary:

1. aruchah, “allowance.” Any meal of herbs where there is love is better than a stalled ox with hatred (Prov. 15:1717Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. (Proverbs 15:17)).
3. ἄριστον, a meal taken in the morning (compare John 21:4,12,154But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. (John 21:4)
12Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. (John 21:12)
15So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. (John 21:15)); but late enough for friends to be invited (Luke 11:37-3837And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. (Luke 11:37‑38)). Used for a marriage feast in Matthew 22:2,42The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, (Matthew 22:2)
4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. (Matthew 22:4), perhaps as late as noon: it is distinguished from “supper” in Luke 14:1212Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. (Luke 14:12).
