Exegesis
The temporal clause hotan klēthēs {ὅταν κληθῇς | hó-tan klē-thḗs} ‘whenever you are invited’ employs the aorist passive subjunctive to express a repeated situation of being summoned.
The purpose clause with hina {ἵνα | hí-na} governs the second hotan elthē {ὅταν ἔλθῃ | hó-tan él-thē} ‘when he comes’, again using the aorist subjunctive for an expected event.
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.
