Luke 14:11-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. Everyone who makes himself great will be made humble. But the person who makes himself humble will be made great.”

12. Then Jesus said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite only your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. At another time they will invite you to eat with them. Then you will have your reward.

13. Instead, when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind.

14. Then you will be blessed, because they cannot pay you back. They have nothing. But you will be rewarded when the good people rise from death.”

15. One of the men sitting at the table with Jesus heard these things. The man said to Jesus, “The people who will eat a meal in God’s kingdom are blessed.”
