Luke 20:45-47

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴⁵ Then Jesus talked to his disciples while all the people could hear him.

⁴⁶ He said, `Take care. Do not let the scribes fool you. They like to walk about dressed in long gowns. They want people to greet them in the market. They want to have the front seats in the meeting houses. They want to sit in the best places at feasts.

⁴⁷ They take away the homes of women whose husbands are dead. They cover up their wrong ways by talking to God a long time. They will be punished more!'
