Luke 14

⁷ When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

⁸ “When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

⁹ Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

¹¹ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
