Luke 20:45-47

LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 20:45 Beware of the scribes. See Luke 11:45; Luke 12:1. They walk... in long (attention-grabbing) robes (see note on Matt. 23:5). They love greetings and places of honor (see Luke 11:43; Luke 14:7; see note on Matt. 23:7). While doing this, they devour widows’ houses (probably while managing their property) and for a pretense make long prayers (see Matthew 6:5). As a consequence, they will receive the greater condemnation (compare Matthew 23:13; Luke 11:37).
