The Parable Of The Guests At The Wedding Feast

9 then the host will tell you, 'Make room for him,' and you will proceed in shame to take the lowest place. 10 No, when you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes in he will tell you, 'Move higher up, my friend.' Then you will be honoured before your fellow guests. 11 For everyone who uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
