When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
When thou art
bidden of any man to a
wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;
“When you are invited to a
wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
But when thou art
bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that
bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of
everyone at the table with you.
Then said he also to him that
bade him, When thou makest a
dinner or a
supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also
bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

dinner or a
banquet, do not
invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may
invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

partaker of his evil deeds.
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
