Luke 14:11

11 Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted."

Luke 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 14:11

For whosoever exalteth himself
Either in the above way, or any other, shall be abased, humbled and mortified:

and he that humbleth himself;
behaves in an humble and modest manner,

shall be exalted; (See Gill on Matthew 23:12).

Luke 14:11 In-Context

9 the person who invited both of you might come and say to you, `Give this man your place.' Then you will be humiliated as you go to take the least important place.

10 Instead, when you are invited, go and sit in the least important place; so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, `Go on up to a better seat.' Then you will be honored in front of everyone sitting with you.

11 Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted."

12 Yeshua also said to the one who had invited him, "When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives or rich neighbors; for they may well invite you in return, and that will be your repayment.

13 Instead, when you have a party, invite poor people, disfigured people, the crippled, the blind!
