And he put forth a parable to those which were called invited bidden , when he marked how they chose out the chief best honorable rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a feast wedding banquet , sit not down in the first highest best 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 place position ; 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 Guest Companion , go up higher: then shalt thou have respect honor worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever lifts exalteth elevates himself shall be humbled abased lowered ; and he that humbleth lowers 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 friends companions associates , nor thy brothers relatives brethren , neither thy kindred kinsmen family , nor thy wealthy affluent rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a repayment reward recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor destitute needy , the maimed injured disabled , the weak lame crippled , 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.
