Luk 20:45-47 | MHM | STEP | v. 45–47 : Jesus warned His disciples to beware of the scribes (Luke 20:45–47 ). He told them not to follow their example or be influenced by their pride and greed. The scribes loved to wear long robes, be greeted with respect, and have the best seats at gatherings. But they were also greedy and took advantage of widows, using religion as a cover for their selfishness. Jesus said they would receive a greater judgment because they pretended to be holy while doing wrong. Pretending to be good while doing evil is a very serious sin in God’s eyes.
