Jesus teaches humility at a Pharisee's table

At the Pharisee's table, Jesus taught guests to choose the lowest place and hosts to welcome the poor and disabled who could not repay them. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted (Luke 14:7-14).

📖 Luke 14:7–9

7When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable: 8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited. 9Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
