A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 14:8

"When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him," — Luke 14:8 (ASV)

Sit not down (μη κατακλιθηις). First aorist (ingressive) passive subjunctive of κατακλινω, to recline. Old verb, but peculiar to Luke in the N.T. (7:36; 9:14; 14:8; 24:30).

Be bidden (η κεκλημενος). Periphrastic perfect passive subjunctive of καλεω after μη ποτε.
