Luke 14:6
4 But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
5 And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
And they were unable to answer these questions.
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.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
