LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And He spoke a parable to those who had been invited, noting how they were choosing out the chief seats, saying to them, ⁸ When you are invited by anyone to wedding feasts, do not recline at the chief seat lest one more honorable than you be invited by him, ⁹ and coming, he who invited you will say to you, Give this one place. And then you begin with shame to take the last place. ¹⁰ But when you are invited, going in, recline at the last place, so that when he who has invited you may come, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then glory will be to you before those reclining with you. ¹¹ For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, and the one humbling himself will be exalted.
