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