Contextual Overview

⁷ When Jesus noticed that some of the guests were choosing the best places to sit, he told this story: ⁸ "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, don't take the most important seat, because someone more important than you may have been invited. ⁹ The host, who invited both of you, will come to you and say, ‘Give this person your seat.' Then you will be embarrassed and will have to move to the last place. ¹⁰ So when you are invited, go sit in a seat that is not important. When the host comes to you, he may say, ‘Friend, move up here to a more important place.' Then all the other guests will respect you. ¹¹ All who make themselves great will be made humble, but those who make themselves humble will be made great." ¹² Then Jesus said to the man who had invited him, "When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite only your friends, your family, your other relatives, and your rich neighbors. At another time they will invite you to eat with them, and you will be repaid. ¹³ Instead, when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. ¹⁴ Then you will be blessed, because they have nothing and cannot pay you back. But you will be repaid when the good people rise from the dead."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For whosoever exalteth himself,.... Either in the above way, or any other, shall be abased, humbled and mortified:

and he that humbleth himself; behaves in an humble and modest manner,

shall be exalted; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Whosoever exalteth ... - This is universal among people, and it is also the way in which God will deal with people. “Men” will perpetually endeavor to bring down those who endeavor to exalt themselves; and it is a part of God’s regular plan to abase the proud, to bring down the lofty, to raise up those that be bowed down, and show “his” favors to those who are poor and needy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 14:11. For whosoever exalteth himself, &c.] This is the unchangeable conduct of God: he is ever abasing the proud, and giving grace, honour, and glory to the humble.
