(Lk 14:7-11)
- Lu 14:7 ¶ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
- Lu 14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
- Lu 14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
- Lu 14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and ✞ sit down in the lowest room② ↬ K sit down in the lowest room①; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
- Lu 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
