Luke 14:8 in Context — Luke 14
6 E nada podiam lhe responder a estas coisas.
7 E vendo como os convidados escolhiam os primeiros assentos, disse-lhes uma parábola:
8 Quando fores convidados para o casamento de alguém, não te sentes no primeiro assento, para que não [aconteça de] se outro convidado mais digno que tu estiver,
9 E venha o que convidou a ti e a ele, e te diga: Dá lugar a este; E então, com vergonha, tenhas que tomar o último lugar.
10 Mas quando fores convidado, vai, e senta-te no último lugar; para que quando vier o que te convidou, te diga: Amigo, sobe para [este assento] melhor. Então terás honra diante dos que estiverem sentados contigo [à mesa] .
