Luke 20:45-47

Good News Translation

Jesus Warns against the Teachers of the Law^(A)

⁴⁵ As all the people listened to him, Jesus said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ “Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who like to walk around in their long robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplace; who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts; ⁴⁷ who take advantage of widows and rob them of their homes, and then make a show of saying long prayers! Their punishment will be all the worse!”
