Part 2 Dining With Jesus

Luke 14:1–11,
[1] One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler
of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully. [2] And
behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. [3] And
Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it
lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?" [4] But they remained
silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. [5]
And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that
has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull
him out?" [6] And they could not reply to these things.
[7] Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when
he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,
[8] "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not
sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished
than you be invited by him, [9] and he who invited you both will
come and say to you, 'Give your place to this person,' and then
you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. [10] But
when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when
your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.'
Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table
with you. [11] For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (ESV)
