Luke 14:5-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. Then He said, “Which of you having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”

6. And they could not answer Him regarding these things.

7. When He marked how they chose the seats of honor, He told a parable to those who were invited, saying to them,

8. “When you are invited by any man to a wedding banquet, do not sit down in a seat of honor, lest a more honorable man than you be invited by him;

9. and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give this man the seat,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest seat.
