Surrounding context
12:38 Then He said to them in His teaching, "Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces,
12:39 the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,
12:40 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."
