'Recline' in the Bible
(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, “Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each.”
Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.
And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.
