LUKE 20:46 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;”
Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets — beware of the teachers of the law: the warning about the scribes who make religion a status-seeking performance. Flowing robes, marketplace greetings, important synagogue seats, places of honor at banquets: the four external marks of the prestige-seeking that characterizes the scribal class.
