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

³⁸ And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, ³⁹ And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts: ⁴⁰ Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

⁴⁵ Then in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples, ⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief places at feasts; ⁴⁷ Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
