In context

7 When 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.

9 Then 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.

10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
