Luke 14:9-16

⁹and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

¹⁰But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

¹¹for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

¹²And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not the means to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁵And one of those that were lying at table with them, hearing these things, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
