Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πρωτοκαθεδρίας & πρωτοκλισίας
best_seats & best_places
Here Jesus speaks of the seats and places for the most important people as if they were first in a sequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “important seats … important places”
Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal
πρωτοκαθεδρίας & πρωτοκλισίας
best_seats & best_places
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use cardinal numbers here or equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “the number one seats … the number one places”
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: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
