When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit near the head of the table, he gave them this advice:

Luke.14.8

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

Luke.14.8

"When someone invites you to dinner, don't take the place of honor. Somebody more important than you might have been invited by the host.

Luke.14.8

"When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.

Luke.14.8

"When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

Luke.14.8

"If you are invited to a wedding feast, don't always head for the best seat. What if someone more respected than you has also been invited?

Luke.14.9

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

Luke.14.9

Then he'll come and call out in front of everybody, "You're in the wrong place. The place of honor belongs to this man.' Red-faced, you'll have to make your way to the very last table, the only place left.

Luke.14.9

If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this man your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place.

Luke.14.9

and he who invited you and him come and say to you, "Give place to this man,' and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

Luke.14.9

The host will say, 'Let this person sit here instead.' Then you will be embarrassed and will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!

Luke.14.10

But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

Luke.14.10

"When you're invited to dinner, go and sit at the last place. Then when the host comes he may very well say, "Friend, come up to the front.' That will give the dinner guests something to talk about!

Luke.14.10

But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests.

Luke.14.10

But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, "Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

Luke.14.10

"Do this instead--sit at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, 'Friend, we have a better place than this for you!' Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests.

Luke.14.11

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Luke.14.11

What I'm saying is, If you walk around with your nose in the air, you're going to end up flat on your face. But if you're content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself."

Luke.14.11

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Luke.14.11

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Luke.14.11

For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored."

Luke.14.12

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

Luke.14.12

Then he turned to the host. "The next time you put on a dinner, don't just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor.

Luke.14.12

Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.

Luke.14.12

Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

Luke.14.12

Then he turned to his host. "When you put on a luncheon or a dinner," he said, "don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will repay you by inviting you back.

Luke.14.13

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

Luke.14.13

Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks.

Luke.14.13

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

Luke.14.13

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

Luke.14.13

Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.

Luke.14.14

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

Luke.14.14

You'll be--and experience--a blessing. They won't be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned--oh, how it will be returned!-at the resurrection of God's people."

Luke.14.14

and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

Luke.14.14

And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Luke.14.14

Then at the resurrection of the godly, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you."
