And he put forth a parable to those which were called invited bidden , 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 highest first best room; lest a more honourable distinguished respected 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 lowest least humblest 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 Guest Companion , go up higher: then shalt thou have worship respect honor in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever elevates exalteth lifts himself shall be humbled abased lowered ; and he that lowers humbleth submits himself shall be elevated honored exalted . Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a banquet dinner feast or a supper, call not thy friends companions associates , nor thy brothers brethren relatives , neither thy kindred kinsmen 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 destitute needy poor , the injured disabled maimed , the weak crippled lame , the sightless visionless blind : And thou shalt be blessed rewarded honored ; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection return awakening of the just.
