Luke 14:9 in context

  1. 7He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
  2. 8“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
  3. 9and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
  4. 10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
  5. 11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
