But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

Αλλ' οταν προσκληθης, υπαγε και καθησον εις τον εσχατον τοπον, δια να σοι ειπη οταν ελθη εκεινος, οστις σε εκαλεσε· Φιλε, αναβα ανωτερω· τοτε θελεις εχει δοξαν ενωπιον των συγκαθημενων μετα σου.

But when thou art 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.
