And he put forth a parable to those which were invited called 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 wedding feast banquet , 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 place position seat ; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest humblest 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 humbled abased ; 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 dinner banquet feast or a supper, call not thy associates companions friends , nor thy brethren relatives brothers , neither thy kindred family kinsmen , nor thy rich affluent wealthy neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a repayment reward recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the needy poor destitute , the disabled injured maimed , the lame weak crippled , the sightless blind visionless : And thou shalt be blessed honored rewarded ; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the return awakening resurrection of the just.
