American Standard Version
"and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, "
— Matthew 23:6, American Standard Version
“And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
“and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,”
“They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues”
“And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues,”
“And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,”
“And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.
