And taking hold of him he healed and dismissed him, - and, unto them, said - Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest? And they could not return an answer unto these things. And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, - observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them - Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him, and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee - Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy. But, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee - Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together with thee. Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
