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