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