And he taught in their synagogues, and was honored by them all.

So he went about Judea, preaching in the synagogues.

Alas for you Pharisees! For you love to have the front seat in the synagogues and to be saluted with respect in public places.

When they bring you before the synagogues or the magistrates or the authorities, you must have no anxiety about how to defend yourselves or what to say,

One Sabbath he was teaching in one of the synagogues,

"Beware of the scribes who like to go about in long robes, and love to be saluted with respect in public places, and to have the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets??47 men who eat up widows' houses and to cover it up make long prayers! They will get all the heavier sentence!"

But before all this, men will arrest you and persecute you, and hand you over to synagogues and prisons and have you brought before kings and governors on my account.
