14 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

7Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honour, saying to them,A Lesson to Guests and a Host Lk.14.7-14 (Peraea)Ἔλεγεν δὲ πρὸς τοὺς κεκλημένους παραβολήν, ἐπέχων πῶς τὰς πρωτοκλισίας ἐξελέγοντο, λέγων πρὸς αὐτούς,
8"When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honour, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; Ὅταν κληθῇς ὑπό τινος εἰς γάμους, μὴ κατακλιθῇς εἰς τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν, μήποτε ἐντιμότερός σου ᾖ κεκλημένος ὑπ' αὐτοῦ,
9and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ σὲ καὶ αὐτὸν καλέσας ἐρεῖ σοι, Δὸς τούτῳ τόπον, καὶ τότε ἀρξῃ μετὰ αἰσχύνης τὸν ἐσχατον τόπον κατέχειν.
10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at table with you. ἀλλ' ὁταν κληθῇς πορευθεὶς ἀνάπεσε εἰς τὸν ἐσχατον τόπον, ἵνα ὁταν ἐλθῃ ὁ κεκληκώς σε ἐρεῖ σοι, Φίλε, προσανάβηθι ἀνώτερον· τότε ἐσται σοι δόξα ἐνώπιον πάντων τῶν συνα νακειμένων σοι.
11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." ὁτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται καὶ ὁ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.
12He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbours, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid. Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ τῷ κεκληκότι αὐτόν, Ὅταν ποιῇς ἀριστον ἢ δεῖπνον, μὴ φώνει τοὺς φίλους σου μηδὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μηδὲ τοὺς συγγενεῖς σου μηδὲ γείτονας πλουσίους, μήποτε καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀντικαλέσωσίν σε καὶ γένηται ἀνταπόδομά σοι.
13But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, ἀλλ' ὁταν δοχὴν ποιῇς, κάλει πτωχούς, ἀναπείρους, χωλούς, τυφλούς·
14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." καὶ μακάριος ἐσῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐχουσιν ἀνταποδοῦναί σοι, ἀνταποδοθήσεται γάρ σοι ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῶν δικαίων.
