Context of Luke 14:6

4But they didn’t say a thing. So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away. 5Jesus asked them, “If your son or your ox falls into a well on a day of rest—a holy day, wouldn’t you pull him out immediately?” They couldn’t argue with him about this. 7Then Jesus noticed how the guests always chose the places of honor. So he used this illustration when he spoke to them: 8“When someone invites you to a wedding, don’t take the place of honor. Maybe someone more important than you was invited.
