Matthew 23:5-7

5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long;
6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
