42:014:010 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.
42:014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
42:014:012 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.
42:014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
42:014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
42:014:015 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
42:014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
42:014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
42:014:018 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
42:014:019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
