7 And He was speaking a parable to those invited, remarking how they were choosing out the first places, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by anyone to the wedding feasts, do not recline in the first place, lest ever one more honorable than you may have been invited by him. 9 And the one having invited you and him, having come, will say to you, ‘Give to this one the place,’ and then you should begin with shame to take the last place. 10 But when you are invited, having gone, recline in the last place, so that when the one having invited you might come, he will say to you, ‘Friend, come up higher.’ Then glory will be to you before all those reclining with you. 11 For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, and the one humbling himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:7-11, Berean Literal Bible.
