Luke 14:7 in Context — Luke 14

5 Puis il leur dit: Lequel de vous, si son fils ou son bœuf tombe dans un puits, ne l’en retirera pas aussitôt, le jour du sabbat?

6 Et ils ne purent rien répondre à cela.

7 Il adressa ensuite une parabole aux conviés, en voyant qu’ils choisissaient les premières places; et il leur dit:

8 Lorsque tu seras invité par quelqu’un à des noces, ne te mets pas à la première place, de peur qu’il n’y ait parmi les invités une personne plus considérable que toi,

9 et que celui qui vous a invités l’un et l’autre ne vienne te dire: Cède la place à cette personne-là. Tu aurais alors la honte d’aller occuper la dernière place.
