“And with all the people listening, He said to His disciples,
Luke 20:45-47
Intr.:
Beware of the scribes,
- who like to walk about in long robes, and
- love to be saluted (with honor) in places where people congregate, and
- love the front and best seats in the synagogues, and
- places of distinction at feasts,
- Who make away with and devour widows’ houses, and (to cover it up) with pretense make long prayers.
End:
They will receive the greater condemnation – the heavier sentence, the severer punishment.”
