But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 14 of Luke. The teachings about humility, invitations, and the banquet present the kingdom as a reality that reverses standards of honor. Those who consider themselves secure may be left out while others receive the invitation.

Sondern wenn du geladen wirst, so gehe hin und setze dich untenan, auf daß, wenn da kommt, der dich geladen hat, er spreche zu dir: Freund, rücke hinauf! Dann wirst du Ehre haben vor denen, die mit dir am Tische sitzen.
Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan a la mesa.
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.
Ma, quando tu sarai invitato, va’, mettiti nell’ultimo luogo, acciocchè, quando colui che t’avrà invitato verrà, ti dica: Amico, sali più in su. Allora tu ne avrai onore appresso coloro che saranno teco a tavola.
Mas, quando fores convidado, vai, e assenta-te no derradeiro lugar, para que, quando vier o que te convidou, te diga: Amigo, sobe mais para cima. Então terás honra diante dos que estiverem contigo à mesa.
你被請的時候,去坐在末位上,好讓主人來對你說:『朋友,請上座。』那時,你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。
