Luke 14: 1, 7 - 11
|
| 1 | One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. |
| 7 | Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, |
| 8 | "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; |
| 9 | and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. |
| 10 | But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. |
| 11 | For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
