And he put forth a parable to those which were called invited bidden , when he marked how they chose out the best honorable chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding banquet feast , sit not down in the highest first best room; lest a more distinguished honourable respected man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place seat position ; and thou begin with shame to take the least humblest lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Companion Friend Guest , go up higher: then shalt thou have honor respect worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever elevates exalteth lifts himself shall be lowered abased humbled ; and he that lowers humbleth submits himself shall be elevated exalted honored . Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a feast dinner banquet or a supper, call not thy friends associates companions , nor thy brethren relatives brothers , neither thy kinsmen kindred family , nor thy wealthy rich affluent neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence repayment reward be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor destitute needy , the disabled injured maimed , the lame weak crippled , the visionless sightless blind : And thou shalt be blessed rewarded honored ; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the awakening return resurrection of the just.
