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