Mark 12:38-40 - Warning To Beware Of The Scribes

Mark 12:38-40

38 And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse, 39 and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the first couch at suppers: 40 who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.

Luke 20:45-47

45 And whilst all the people were hearkening, he said to his disciples, 46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk about in trailing robes, and love salutations in the public places, and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the most honourable couch at suppers; 47 who devour the houses of widows, and for a pretext make long prayers: these shall receive a more abundant punishment.
