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