King James 2000

Luke 14:8-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

8. When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest place; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;

9. And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man your place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

10. But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that bade you come, he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with you.

11. For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
