'Invited' in the Bible

Now [when] the Pharisee who invited him saw [this], he spoke to himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman [this is] who is touching him, that she is a sinner."

Now he told a parable to those who had been invited [when he] noticed how they were choosing for themselves the places of honor, saying to them,

"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline at the table in the place of honor, lest [someone] more distinguished than you has been invited by him,

and the one who invited you {both} will come [and] say to you, 'Give the place to this person,' and then with shame you will begin to take the last place.

But when you are invited, go [and] recline at the table in the last place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then it will be an honor to you in the presence of all those who are reclining at the table with you.

And he also said to the one who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or wealthy neighbors, lest they also invite you [in return], and repayment come to you.

But he said to him, "A certain man was giving a large banquet and invited many.

And he sent his slave at the hour of the banquet to say to those who have been invited, 'Come, because now it is ready!'

For I say to you that none of those persons who were invited will taste my banquet!'"
