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