Bible Comments

Their passion for honor from men:

Matthew 23:5-7

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries,a and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
