Luke 14: 1, 7-11.
Healing Of The Man With Dropsy On The Sabbath.
On a sabbath he went to dine at the home of one of the leading
Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully.
Conduct Of Invited Guests And Hosts.
He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were
choosing the places of honor at the table. "When you are invited by
someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of
honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by
him, and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say,
'Give your place to this man,' and then you would proceed with
embarrassment to take the lowest place. Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may
say, 'My friend, move up to a higher position.' Then you will enjoy
the esteem of your companions at the table. For everyone who exalts
himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be
exalted."
