Luke 11:43

Context
11:43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seats 1  in the synagogues 2  and elaborate greetings 3  in the marketplaces!

1 tn Or “seats of honor.” The term here is plural and is not a reference only to the lead “seat of Moses” in the synagogue, but includes the front seats near the ark.

2 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

3 tn Grk “and the greetings.”

sn The later Jewish summary of oral tradition, the Talmud, notes elaborate greetings for rabbis. The rebuke here is for pride.
