Mt 23:5: Πάντα δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· πλατύνουσιν γὰρ τὰ φυλακτήρια αὐτῶν καὶ μεγαλύνουσιν τὰ κράσπεδα,

Mt 23:6: φιλοῦσιν δὲ τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις καὶ τὰς πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς

Mk 12:37: Αὐτὸς Δαυὶδ λέγει αὐτὸν Κύριον, καὶ πόθεν αὐτοῦ ἐστιν υἱός;¶
Καὶ ὁ πολὺς ὄχλος ἤκουεν αὐτοῦ ἡδέως.¶


Mk 12:38: Καὶ ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ ἔλεγεν· Βλέπετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων ἐν στολαῖς περιπατεῖν καὶ ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς

Mk 12:39: καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,

Lk 11:43: Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀγαπᾶτε τὴν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς. Lk 20:45: Ἀκούοντος δὲ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ·

Lk 20:46: Προσέχετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς καὶ φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις,

 

Mt Mk Lk11 Lk
Mt 23:1: Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,

Mt 23:2: saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down on Moses’ seat;

Mt 23:5: And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by men. For they broaden their phylacteries and enlarge their tassels,

Mt 23:6: and they love the chief place at the banquets, and the first seats in the synagogues,

Mt 23:7: and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by men.

Mk 12:37: David himself calls Him Lord. And from where is He his son?” And the great crowd was listening to Him gladly.

Mk 12:38: And in His teaching He was saying, “Beware of the scribes, desiring to walk about in robes, and greetings in the marketplaces,

Mk 12:39: and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at the feasts;

Lk 11:43: Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the first seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces. Lk 20:45: While all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,

Lk 20:46: “Beware of the scribes, desiring to walk in long robes, and loving greetings in the marketplaces and first seats in the synagogues and first places in the banquets,

 

 

 


(Jesus was talking to) a crowd.

He said.

The scribes like ⎡long robes|robes with long fringes⎤,

to be greeted in the marketplaces, and to have the front seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at the banquets.”
