Luke 14:12 in Context — Luke 14
10 Mais, lorsque tu seras invité, va te mettre à la dernière place, afin que, quand celui qui t’a invité viendra, il te dise: Mon ami, monte plus haut. Alors cela te fera honneur devant tous ceux qui seront à table avec toi.
11 Car quiconque s’élève sera abaissé, et quiconque s’abaisse sera élevé.
12 Il dit aussi à celui qui l’avait invité: Lorsque tu donnes à dîner ou à souper, n’invite pas tes amis, ni tes frères, ni tes parents, ni des voisins riches, de peur qu’ils ne t’invitent à leur tour et qu’on ne te rende la pareille.
13 Mais, lorsque tu donnes un festin, invite des pauvres, des estropiés, des boiteux, des aveugles.
14 Et tu seras heureux de ce qu’ils ne peuvent pas te rendre la pareille; car elle te sera rendue à la résurrection des justes.
