Context of Luke 14:6

4But they would not say anything. So Jesus took the sick man and he made him well again. Then he let him go away. 5Then Jesus asked the people, ‘Maybe one of you has a son or an animal that falls into a well on our day of rest. What will you do? You will pull the child or the animal out of the well immediately.’ When Jesus said this, they could not say anything else. 7Jesus watched how people chose the best places to sit at the meal. So he told this story to those who were sitting there: 8‘When someone asks you to come to a special meal, do not sit in the best place. A man that is more important than you may come later.
