“And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.”
And greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. The public greetings in the marketplace and the rabbi title communicate the same status-seeking: the public acknowledgment of their authority and learning is the Pharisees' desired reward for their ostentatious religious performance.
