14:7 Then 1 when Jesus 2 noticed how the guests 3 chose the places of honor, 4 he told them a parable. He said to them, 14:8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, 5 do not take 6 the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host. 7 14:9 So 8 the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, 9 you will begin to move to the least important 10 place. 14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host 11 approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’ 12 Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you. 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but 13 the one who humbles 14 himself will be exalted.”
