Luke 14:9

Context
14:9 So 1  the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, 2  you will begin to move to the least important 3  place.

1 tn Grk “host, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate this action is a result of the situation described in the previous verse. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

2 tn Or “then in disgrace”; Grk “with shame.” In this culture avoiding shame was important.

3 tn Grk “lowest place” (also in the repetition of the phrase in the next verse).
