45 While 20:45–47 Mt 23:1–36; Mk 12:37–40 all the people were listening, he said to his disciples, 46 "Beware 20:46 Mt 16:6of the scribes, who want to go around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets. 20:46 Lk 11:4347 They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher judgment."
