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.
Pero cuando seas invitado a algún lugar, no tomes el mejor asiento de la casa. En lugar de eso, toma un lugar atrás. De esa manera, cuando tu anfitrión te vea, podría decir: '¡Oye, ven a sentarte aquí conmigo!' Y todos verán cómo te honra de esa manera.
Es mejor ser humilde y que te honren, que buscar honor y ser humillado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, during Jesus' ministry in ancient Jewish society, meals were significant social gatherings where seating positions indicated a person's social status and honor, often leading to competition for the most prestigious spots. Jesus was at a dinner hosted by a Pharisee and observed guests scrambling for high seats, using this as an opportunity to teach a parable on humility. This reflects the cultural norms of the time, where honor and humility were key themes in both social and religious contexts.
