20:28 Var. adds But for your part try to grow from littleness, and out of (or, reading the words in the Aramaic language as spoken by Jesus, and rather than) something greater to be something less. And when you go to a house and are invited to have dinner, do not take the prominent places at the table, for fear a man of higher standing should come on and the host should come to you and say ‘Move down lower,’ and you should be humiliated. But if you take the poorest place and a man inferior to you comes on, the host will say to you ‘Come along up higher,’ and that will be good for you
