Matthew 23:5-7

5But they do all their deeds 1to be noticed by men; for they 2broaden their 3phylacteries and lengthen 4the tassels of their garments.

6They 5love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called 6Rabbi by men.
