Luke 14:9-10

9 and he who invited you both * will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then ¹in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.

10 "But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, ²move up higher '; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.
