And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: 8When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him: 9And 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. 10But 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. 11Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 12And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee. 13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind. 14And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
