7 Afterwards observing how eager the guests were for the first places, he gave them this instruction: 8 when any one invites you to a wedding, don't put yourself in the highest seat: for fear some person of greater distinction should be a guest, 9 and he that invited you both, should come and bid you give place to him; and you should have the disgrace of taking the lowest seat. 10 but when you are invited, go place your self last; that he, who invited you, when he comes, may say to you, friend, go up higher: and that will do you honour before all the company at table. Luke 14:7-10, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
