Luke 14:7-9

⁷And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them,

⁸'When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,

⁹and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.
