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