Context
6Nao hawakuwa na la kusema. 7Alipoona jinsi wageni walivyokuwa wanachagua mahali pa heshima wakati wa kula, akawaambia mfano huu: 8“Mtu akikualika arusini, usikae mahali pa mgeni wa heshima kwa kuwa inawezekana amealikwa mtu mheshimiwa kuliko wewe. 9Kama mkifanya hivyo yule aliyewaalika ninyi wawili atakuja na kukuambia, ‘Mpishe huyu mtu kiti chako.’ Ndipo kwa aibu utalazimika kukaa katika nafasi ya chini kabisa. 10Badala yake, unapoalikwa, chagua nafasi ya chini, ili yule mwenyeji wako atakapokuona atakuja na kukuambia, ‘Rafiki yangu, nenda kwenye nafasi iliyo bora zaidi.’ Kwa jinsi hii utakuwa umepewa heshima mbele ya wageni wenzako wote.
