3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?’
4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 Then he asked them, ‘If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?’
6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honour at the table, he told them this parable:
8 ‘When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honour, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.
9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, “Give this person your seat.” Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place.
