3 Jesus reacted by asking the Pharisees and the experts in Moses’ Teachings, “Is it right to heal on the day of worship or not?”
4 But they didn’t say a thing.So Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him away.
5 Jesus asked them, “If your son or your ox falls into a well on a day of worship, wouldn’t you pull him out immediately?”
6 They couldn’t argue with him about this.
7 Then Jesus noticed how the guests always chose the places of honor. So he used this illustration when he spoke to them:
8 “When someone invites you to a wedding, don’t take the place of honor. Maybe someone more important than you was invited.
9 Then your host would say to you, ‘Give this person your place.’ Embarrassed, you would have to take the place of least honor.
