(45-47) Then in the audience of all the people. — Better, in the hearing. See Notes on Matthew 23, especially Luke 20:6-7, and Mark 12:38-40. St. Luke’s report agrees almost verbally with the latter.

Chief rooms. — Better, chief places.

Luke 20:45-47

45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
