Luke 14:8-14

8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

9and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

10But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

11For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

13But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

14And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
