LUKE 14:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.”
If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, give this person your seat. Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place — humiliated (meta aischynēs, with shame): the public displacement from the honored seat to the least important place. The self-promotion produces the opposite of the desired result.
