- 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."
