Luke 14:7–11 · BSB
14:7
When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
14:8
“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
14:9
Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
14:10
But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
14:11
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
