Luke 14:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
10 But whenever you are invited, having gone, fall back [to eat] in the last place, so that when the one having invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’. Then there will be glory for you in the presence of all the ones reclining back with you [to eat]. 11 Because everyone exalting himself will be humbled. And the one humbling himself will be exalted”.
Jesus Says To The One Who Invited Him, Serve Those Who Cannot Repay
12 And He was also saying to the one having invited Him, “Whenever you make a morning-meal[a] or a dinner, do not be calling your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors— that they also might not perhaps invite you in return, and it become a repayment[b] to you.
