Mark 12:39

Catholic Public Domain Version

and to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues, and to have the first seats at feasts,

See the chapter Copy

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,

And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,

And he said to them in his doctrine: "Beware of the scribes, who prefer to walk in long robes and to be greeted in the marketplace,

who devour the houses of widows under the pretense of long prayers. These shall receive the more extensive judgment."
