Jesus Denounces the Hypocrisy of the Scribes

38 ¶ And he said vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes, which loue to goe in long clothing, and loue salutations in the market places,

39 And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the vppermost roomes at feasts: 40 Which deuoure widowes houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.

Mk 12:38-40

All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
