And he put forth a parable to those which were invited bidden called , when he marked how they chose out the honorable best chief rooms; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding banquet feast , sit not down in the best highest first room; lest a more respected distinguished honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man position seat place ; and thou begin with shame to take the humblest lowest least 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, Companion Guest Friend , go up higher: then shalt thou have honor worship respect in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever lifts elevates exalteth himself shall be abased humbled lowered ; and he that submits humbleth lowers himself shall be exalted elevated honored . Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a banquet feast dinner or a supper, call not thy companions associates friends , nor thy brethren relatives brothers , neither thy family kindred kinsmen , 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 destitute poor needy , the injured disabled maimed , the crippled lame weak , the visionless blind sightless : 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.
