Luke 20:45-47

Beware of the Scribes

45 ¹And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and ²the places of honor at feasts,

47 ³who devour widows' houses and ⁴for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
