9When that man comes, the man who invited both of you will come to you (sg) and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you (sg) will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
10Instead, when you are invited { someone invites one of you} to a feast, go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you (sg), ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you (sg) will see that he is honoring you.
11Also, remember this: God will humble those who exalt themselves. And he will exalt those who humble themselves.”
12Jesus also said to the Pharisee who had invited him to the meal, “When you (sg) invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you (sg) for a meal. In that way they will repay you.
13Instead, when you (sg) give a feast, invite poor people, crippled people, lame people, or blind people.
14They will be unable to repay you. But God will bless you! He will repay you at the time when he causes righteous people to become alive again.”
15One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God has truly blessed us Jews who will eat with the Messiah when he starts to rule!”
16But to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God's invitation MET, Jesus replied to him, “One time a man decided to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
