Luke 14:7-11
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places

of honor at the table, he told them this parable:

8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast,

do not take the place of honor, for a person

more distinguished than you may have been invited.

9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come

and say to you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then, humiliated,

you will have to take the least important place.

10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place,

so that when your host comes, he will say to you,

‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored

in the presence of all your fellow guests.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,

and he who humbles himself

will be exalted.”
