Amplified Bible

Matthew 23:5-7

5They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries (tefillin) wide [to make them more conspicuous] and make their tassels long.

6They love the place of distinction and honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues [those on the platform near the scrolls of the Law, facing the congregation],

7and to be greeted [with respect] in the market places and public forums, and to have people call them Rabbi.
