Luke 14:7-11 - The Parable Of The Guests At The Wedding Feast

7 Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them, 8 "When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked, 9 and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, 'Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place.

10 On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, 'My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted.
