He was teaching in their synagogues, being acclaimed by everyone.

And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

“Woe to you Pharisees! You love the front seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

Whenever they bring you before synagogues and rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how you should defend yourselves or what you should say.

As He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,

“Beware of the scribes, who want to go around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces, the front seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of My name.
