5. He said to them, "Suppose your child or ox fell into a ditch on the Sabbath day. Wouldn’t you immediately pull it out?"
6. But they had no response.
7. When Jesus noticed how the guests sought out the best seats at the table, he told them a parable.
8. "When someone invites you to a wedding celebration, don’t take your seat in the place of honor. Someone more highly regarded than you could have been invited by your host.
9. The host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give your seat to this other person.’ Embarrassed, you will take your seat in the least important place.
10. Instead, when you receive an invitation, go and sit in the least important place. When your host approaches you, he will say, ‘Friend, move up here to a better seat.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests.
