A SOLEMN WORD OF WARNING TO THE DISCIPLES ABOUT THE SCRIBES
“Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, ‘Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.’”

给予门徒关于文士的警告
“众百姓听的时候，耶稣对门徒说：“你们要防备文士。他们好穿长衣游行，喜爱人在街市上问他们安，又喜爱会堂里的高位、筵席上的首座。他们侵吞寡妇的家产，假意作很长的祷告。这些人要受更重的刑罚！””
