耶稣又对请他的人说,你摆设午饭,或晚饭,不要请你的朋友,弟兄,亲属,和富足的邻舍。恐怕他们也请你,你就得了报答。

因为他们没有什么可报答你。到义人复活的时候,你要得着报答。
同席的友一人听见这话,就对耶稣说,在神国里吃饭的有福了。

and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
When one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, "Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"
