The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

And he said to them, "Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;

for a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

I tell you, though he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as much as he needs.

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
