Matthew 23:6

King James Version

⁶And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

⁷When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,^(A) he told them this parable:

⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

⁸“When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.

⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
