Luke 14:7 - 14:11

14:7. Jesus, marking how those who were invited chose the first seats at the table, spoke a parable to them, saying,

14:8. “When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honorable than you also be invited

14:9. “and he that invited you and him come and say to you, 'Give this man your place.' Then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.

14:10. “But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you shall have glory before those who sit at table with you.

14:11. “Because everyone that exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.”
