Luke 14:7-11

Lamsa(i) 7 And he spoke a parable to those who were invited there, because he saw them choosing places among the front seats. 8 When you are invited of a man to a banquet house, do not go and sit in the front seat; it might be that a more honorable man than you is invited there; 9 And then he who has invited you and him will come, and say to you, Give the place to him; and you will be embarrassed when you get up and take a lower seat. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit at the lower end, so that when he who has invited you comes, he will say to you, My friend, go up and sit higher; and you will have glory before all who sit with you. 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
