Demonstrating humility

14:7 Demonstrating humility

7Then he told a parable to all the invited guests after he’d noticed them choosing the best places around the table, telling them, 8[ref]Whenever you’re invited to a wedding celebration, don’t go and sit in the best place in case someone more important than you might be called over by the host 9and then your host might come over to you and ask you to let the other guest sit where you were and then you might end up humiliated at the bottom of the table. 10Rather, when you’re invited, sit down at the end so that the host might come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better spot.’ Then you’ll be honoured in front of all the other guests 11[ref]because the person who thinks a lot of themself will be humbled, and the person who humbles themself will be honoured.

12Then Yeshua also spoke to the man who had invited him, “Whenever you host a brunch or dinner, don’t invite your friends or siblings, or your other relatives or your wealthy neighbours, because they can invite you back and so repay you. 13Instead when you’re celebrating, invite the poor and the crippled, the lame and the blind, 14and then you’ll be rewarded by God because those people won’t be able to repay you, hence you’ll be repaid instead when those who please God come back to life.
