Luke 14:7-10

7NowG1161 He began tellingG3004 a parableG3850 to the invitedG2564 guestsG2564 when He noticedG1907 howG4459 1they had been pickingG1586 outG1586 the placesG4411 ofG4411 honorG4411 at the table, sayingG3004 to them,

8“WheneverG3752 you are invitedG2564 by someoneG5100 to a weddingG1062 feastG1062, 2do not 3takeG2625 the placeG4411 ofG4411 honorG4411, for someone moreG1784 distinguishedG1784 than you may have beenG1510 invitedG2564 by him,

9and the one who invitedG2564 you 4bothG2532G846 will comeG2064 and sayG3004 to you, ‘GiveG1325 your placeG5117 to thisG3778 personG3778,’ and thenG5119 5in disgraceG152 you will proceedG757 to occupyG2722 the lastG2078 placeG5117.

10But wheneverG3752 you are invitedG2564, goG4198 and 6takeG377 the lastG2078 placeG5117, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 the one who has invitedG2564 you comesG2064, he will sayG3004 to you, ‘FriendG5384, 7moveG4320 upG4320 higherG511’; thenG5119 you will have honorG1391 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 allG3956 who are 8diningG4873 at the tableG4873 with you.
