Luke 14:1, 7-14
One Sabbath Jesus went to eat a meal at the home of one of the leading Pharisees;
and people were watching Jesus closely.
7 Jesus noticed how some of the guests were choosing the best places, so he
told this parable to all of them: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do
not sit down in the best place. It could happen that someone more important than
you has been invited, 9 and your host, who invited both of you, would have to come
and say to you, ‘Let him have this place.’ Then you would be embarrassed and have to
sit in the lowest place. 10 Instead, when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest
place, so that your host will come to you and say, ‘Come on up, my friend, to a better
place.’ This will bring you honor in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For those
who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will
be made great.”
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite
your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors—for they will
invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. 13 When you give a
feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; 14 and you will be
blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the
good people rise from death.”
