寧可讓人家說「請你上到這裏來」，強如在你覲見的貴人面前令你退下。

与其在权贵面前受羞辱，不如等人邀请你坐上座。

宁可让人对你说：“请上座！”胜过在你觐见的显贵面前，被人叫你退下去。

因为让人对你说“上到这里来吧”，好过在你所见的高贵者面前被降卑。

寧有人曰、請爾上升、勿於所覲之君前、令爾下退、

寧有人請上坐、勿於尊者前趨末席。

爾在尊者前、爾在尊者前原文作在爾目所觀之尊者前與其有人令爾退、不如有人謂爾曰、請爾上、

it is better for him to say to you,“ Come up here,” than for him to humiliate you before his nobles. What you have seen with your eyes

Let the king say to you,“ Come up here.” That’s better than for him to shame you in front of his nobles. What you have seen with your own eyes

for it is better to be told,“ Come up here,” than to be put lower in the presence of a noble. What your eyes have seen

It’s better to wait for an invitation to the head table than to be sent away in public disgrace. Just because you’ve seen something,

for it is better for him to say to you,“ Come up here!” than to demote you in plain view of a noble.

For it is better that it be said to you,“ Come up here,” Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen.

For it is better that he say to you,“ Come up here,” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen.

For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen.

for it is better for him to say to you,“ Come up here!” than to demote you in plain view of a noble.

For better[ it is] that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

for it is better for him to say to you,“ Come up here,” than to put you lower before a prince, whom your eyes have seen.

耶穌見所請的客人選擇首位，就用比喻對他們說：「你被人請去赴婚宴，不要坐在首位上，恐怕主人請了比你尊貴的客人，請了你和他的那人前來，對你說：『請讓座給這一位吧。』你就羞羞慚慚地退到末位去了。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。因為凡自高的，必降為卑；自甘卑微的，必升為高。」

同樣，你們年輕的，要順服年長的。你們大家都要以謙卑當衣服穿上，彼此順服，因為「神抵擋驕傲的人，但賜恩給謙卑的人。」

我告訴你們，這人回家去比那人倒算為義了。因為凡自高的，必降為卑；自甘卑微的，必升為高。」

心裏謙卑與困苦人來往，強如與驕傲人同分戰利品。

這些事以後，我觀看，看見天上有一道門開着。我頭一次聽見的那好像吹號的聲音對我說：「你上這裏來，我要把此後必須發生的事指示你。」
