Exegesis
Direct speech follows with the vocative phile {Φίλε | Phí-le} ‘Friend’ and the imperative prosanabēthi anōteron {προσανάβηθι ἀνώτερον | pro-sa-na-bē-thi a-nṓ-te-ron} ‘move up higher’, signifying a change in seating status.
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.
