Lucas 14:8

Listen to Lucas 14:8
8 Cuando seas invitado por alguno a un banquete de bodas, no tomes el lugar de honor, no sea que él haya invitado a otro más distinguido que tú,

Lucas 14:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:8

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding
To a wedding dinner, or to any other; such an one as the present entertainment was, which was not a marriage feast, for they might not marry on the sabbath day; (See Gill on John 2:1) but a common sabbath meal:

sit not down in the highest room:
in the chief place at table, as soon as come in:

lest a more honourable man;
for age, office, dignity, wisdom, learning, or riches:

than thou be bidden of him:
the master of the feast; and who may not yet be come, and for whom the chief place may be designed, and will better suit him.

Lucas 14:8 In-Context

6 Y no pudieron responderle a esto.
7 Y comenzó a referir una parábola a los invitados, cuando advirtió cómo escogían los lugares de honor a la mesa, diciéndoles:
8 Cuando seas invitado por alguno a un banquete de bodas, no tomes el lugar de honor, no sea que él haya invitado a otro más distinguido que tú,
9 y viniendo el que te invitó a ti y a él, te diga: "Dale el lugar a éste"; y entonces, avergonzado, tengas que irte al último lugar.
10 Sino que cuando seas invitado, ve y siéntate en el último lugar, para que cuando llegue el que te invitó, te diga: "Amigo, ven más adelante"; entonces serás honrado delante de todos los que se sientan a la mesa contigo.
