Luke 14:7-9

Modern English Version

A Lesson to Guests and a Host

⁷ When He marked how they chose the seats of honor, He told a parable to those who were invited, saying to them, ⁸ “When you are invited by any man to a wedding banquet, do not sit down in a seat of honor, lest a more honorable man than you be invited by him; ⁹ and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give this man the seat,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest seat.
