Matthew 10:17
10:17 Beware
of people, because they will hand you over to councils
and flog
you in their synagogues.
Matthew 23:1-7
Seven Woes
23:1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
23:2 “The experts in the law and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
23:3 Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach.
23:4 They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to lift a finger to move them.
23:5 They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.
23:6 They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
23:7 and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces, and to have people call them ‘Rabbi.’
Luke 20:45-47
Jesus Warns the Disciples against Pride
20:45 As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
20:46 “Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
20:47 They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”
