12:38In his teaching Jesus73 also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law.74 They like walking75 around in long robes and elaborate greetings76 in the marketplaces, 12:39and the best seats in the synagogues77 and the places of honor at banquets.
Footnotes
- 73 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 74 Or “for the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in .
- 75 In Greek this is the only infinitive in vv. 38–39. It would be awkward in English to join an infinitive to the following noun clauses, so this has been translated as a gerund.
- 76 There is later Jewish material in the Talmud that spells out such greetings in detail. See H. Windisch, 1:498.
- 77 See the note on synagogue in .
