Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἐντιμότερός
more_honored_‹than›
Jesus is using the comparative adjective more honorable as a noun. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate it with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “a person who is more important”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σου
you
Even though Jesus is speaking to the crowd, he is addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular in 14:8–10. But if the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms in your translation.
14:8 Jesus’ response was a commentary on Prov 25:6-7.
