Synoptic Sayings - Seating at Feasts

214	SEATING at FEASTS
Matt	Mark	Luke 14
		7	Now he told a parable
			to those who were invited,
			when he marked how they chose the places of honor.
		8	"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast,
			do not sit down in a place of honor,
			lest a more eminent man than you
			be invited by him;
		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.
		10	But when you are invited,
			go and sit in the lowest place,
			so that when your host comes,
		11	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.
		12	For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
			and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
