And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
Woe unto you, Pharisees for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
I wrote unto the assembly: but Dio- trephes, who loveth to have the preemi-nence among them, receiveth us not.
