NET Notes |
1 tn Or “seats of honor.” The term here is plural and is not a reference only to the lead “seat of Moses” in the synagogue, but includes the front seats near the ark. 2 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15. 3 tn Grk “and the greetings.” 3 sn The later Jewish summary of oral tradition, the Talmud, notes elaborate greetings for rabbis. The rebuke here is for pride. |
