Matthew 23:5-7 Jesus Denounces the Religious Leaders

5 “Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;

6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;

7 they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them ‘Rabbi.’
