7 And he spake a parable to the called, fixing his attention how they chose out the first places at table; saying to them, 8 When thou art called to the nuptials, thou shouldest not recline in the first place at table; lest a more honourable than thou be called by him: 9 And he having called thee and him, having come, shall say to thee, Give place to this; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take possession of the last place. 10 But when thou art called, having gone, recline in the last place; that when he having called thee come, might say to thee, Friend, mount up higher; then shall honour be to thee before them reclining with thee.
