“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes [displaying their prominence], and love respectful greetings in the [crowded] market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.

If you [only] love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the best seats in the synagogues and to be respectfully greeted in the market places.
