- "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
- And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.
- "But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
- and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
- When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, "Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

- For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
- Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.
- But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
- and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
- When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God."
