Luke:14:8-10
rsv@Luke:14:8 @ "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him;
rsv@Luke:14:9 @ and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
rsv@Luke:14:10 @ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
