DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: ⁸ When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him: ⁹ And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place. And then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. ¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee. ¹¹ Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
