Luke 14:1–11

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees ^ato eat bread on the sabbath day, that they ^bwatched him. ²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. ³And Jesus ^canswering spake unto the ^dlawyers and Pharisees, saying, ^eIs it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? ⁴And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; ⁵And ^canswered them, saying, Which of you shall have ^fan ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? ⁶And ^gthey could not answer him again to these things.

⁷And he ^hput forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he ⁱmarked how they chose out the ^jchief rooms; saying unto them, ⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a ^kwedding, sit not down in the ^jhighest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; ⁹And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou ^lbegin with shame to take the lowest room. ^10mBut when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, ⁿFriend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. ^11oFor whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
