Luke:14:7-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he put forth (
5707 )
a parable to those which were bidden (
5772 ),
when he marked (
5723 )
how they chose out (
5710 )
the chief rooms ;
saying (
5723 )
unto them ,
*
When thou art bidden (
5686 )
of any man to a wedding ,
sit not down (
5686 )
in the highest room ;
lest a more honourable man than thou be (
5753 )
bidden (
5772 )
of him ;
*
And he that bade (
5660 )
thee and him come (
5631 )
and say (
5692 )
to thee ,
Give (
5628 )
this man place ;
and thou begin (
5672 )
with shame to take (
5721 )
the lowest room .
*
But when thou art bidden (
5686 ),
go (
5679 )
and sit down (
5657 )
in the lowest room ;
that when he that bade (
5761 )
thee cometh (
5632 ),
he may say (
5632 )
unto thee ,
Friend ,
go up (
5628 )
higher :
then shalt thou have (
5704 )
worship in the presence of them that sit at meat (
5740 )
with thee .
*
For whosoever exalteth (
5723 )
himself shall be abased (
5701 );
and he that humbleth (
5723 )
himself shall be exalted (
5701 ).
*
Then said he (
5707 )
also to him that bade (
5761 )
him ,
When thou makest (
5725 )
a dinner or a supper ,
call (
5720 )
not thy friends ,
nor thy brethren ,
neither thy kinsmen ,
nor thy rich neighbours ;
lest they also bid thee again (
5661 ),
and a recompence be made (
5638 )
thee .
