T<\/span>eaching in the temple, Jesus said, \u201cBeware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets! They devour widows\u2019 houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers.
