"and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place."
— Luke 14:9, World English Bible
“And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.”
“and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. ”
“So the host who invited both of you will come and say to you,‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, you will begin to move to the least important place.”
“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.”
“And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.”
“And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.”
They couldn't answer him regarding these things.
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don't sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
