This episode covers one miracle and two short parables, all three dealing with what is more important in God's view. The miracle is a teaching moment in which Jesus explains that manifesting love for those in need around you, including animals, is more important than keeping the cold letter of the law. Likewise, when you are invited to a dinner, you should not look for places of honor but instead manifest humility. If you prioritize those in need, “you will be blessed because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
