Exegesis
The verse begins with the adversative conjunction allʼ {ἀλλʼ | allʼ} ‘but’, contrasting this instruction with prior conduct.
In context — Luke 14:10
But whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place , so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, “Friend, move up higher.” Then you will have honor in the presence of all who are reclining at table with you.
