Matthew 23:5-7

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

6And they 5love the place of honor at banquets, and the seats of honor in the synagogues,

7and personal greetings in the marketplaces, and being called 67Rabbi by the people.
