"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,

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.

When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.

He is staying as a guest with Simon, a tanner, who has a house close to the sea."

Send therefore to Jaffa, and invite Simon, surnamed Peter, to come here. He is staying as a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, close to the sea.'
