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