Luke 14:9

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

And {G2532} he that bade {G2564} thee {G4571} and {G2532} him {G846} come {G2064} and say {G2046} to thee {G4671}, Give {G1325} this man {G5129} place {G5117}; and {G2532}{G5119} thou begin {G756} with {G3326} shame {G152} to take {G2722} the lowest {G2078} room {G5117}.

the person who invited both of you might come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then you will be humiliated as you go to take the least important place.

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.

and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
