Exegesis
The verse opens with the present active imperative prosechete {προσέχετε | proséchete} “watch out,” which functions as a direct admonition to the hearers and sets a warning tone.
In context — Luke 20:46
Watch out for the scribes who desire to walk in long robes and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
