porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

wedding, sit not down in the highest
room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;

wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest
room.

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.

“
Beware of the
scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
And ye shall say unto the
goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the
passover with my disciples?
and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the
guest room, where I may eat the
Passover with My disciples?’
And he shall
shew you a large upper
room furnished: there make ready.
And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
