Luke 14:7-9

International Standard Version

A Lesson about Guests

⁷ When Jesus^[a] noticed how the guests were choosing the places of honor, he told them a parable. ⁸ “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, don’t sit down at the place of honor in case someone more important than you was invited by the host.^{[b] 9} Then the host who invited both of you would come to you and say, ‘Give this person your place.’ In disgrace, you would have to take the place of least honor.
