12:38-39 teachers of religious law: See 1:22. The warning here is similar to the one against the Pharisees and Herod in 8:15. The scribes broke the two greatest commands (12:30-31). They broke the first command by failing to love God and failing to reserve for him alone the reverence and adoration they sought for themselves.
• Flowing robes were probably the garments worn by religious men; respectful greetings perhaps meant being called “Rabbi” (see Matt 23:7). The seats of honor were in the front of the synagogue facing the congregation.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential
καὶ
and
Mark uses the word And to indicate that Jesus is still in the temple area talking to the people there, as he was in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes that more explicit. Alternate translation: “Then” or “At that time”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
βλέπετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων
/be/_watching_out of the scribes
Here Jesus means that people need to Watch out that they do not act like the scribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Be careful that you are not like the scribes” or “Watch out that you do not behave like the scribes do”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
βλέπετε
/be/_watching_out
Because Jesus is teaching many people, the command Watch out is plural.
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
ἐν στολαῖς περιπατεῖν
in in robes /to_be/_walking
In this culture, long robes were a symbol of wealth and status. To walk around in public in long robes was to assert one’s right to high status. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what it means to behave in this way. Alternate translation: “to walk around looking important in their long robes”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀσπασμοὺς
greetings
The implication is that these would be respectful greetings in which the scribes would be addressed by important titles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “respectful greetings”
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
ταῖς ἀγοραῖς
the marketplaces
The word marketplaces refers to large, open-air areas where people buy and sell goods. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of area, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the town squares” or “the parks”
