Luke 14:7-9 New English Translation (NET)

7. Then when Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. He said to them,

8. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.

9. So the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, you will begin to move to the least important place.
