Luke 14:6-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. And they were unable to respond to him about these things.

7. Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:

8. "When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.

9. And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, 'Give this place to him.' And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.
