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