Parable of the Guests

7 And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how ^athey had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, ^bdo not ^{▼▼ Lit recline at}take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then ^din disgrace you ^{▼▼ Lit begin}proceed to occupy the last place. 10 “But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, ^fmove up higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who ^{▼▼ Lit recline at the table}are at the table with you. 11 ^h“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
