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