⁴⁶ 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;
⁴⁷ Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and love to be saluted [with honor] in places where people congregate and love the front and best seats in the synagogues and places of distinction at feasts,

⁴⁷ Who make away with and devour widows’ houses, and [to cover it up] with pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation (the heavier sentence, the severer punishment).

⁴³ ‘Adonai said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’^[d]

⁴⁴ David thus calls him ‘Lord.’ So how can he be David’s son?”

⁴⁵ Within the hearing of all the people, Yeshua said to his talmidim, ⁴⁶ “Watch out for the kind of Torah-teachers that like to walk around in robes and be greeted deferentially in the marketplaces, the kind that like to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets, ⁴⁷ the kind that swallow up widows’ houses while making a show of davvening at great length. Their punishment will be all the worse!”
