Exegesis
This genitive is further defined by the genitive participial phrases tôn thelóntōn peripateîn en stolaîs {τῶν θελόντων περιπατεῖν ἐν στολαῖς | tôn thelóntōn peripateîn en stolaîs} “those desiring to walk in robes” and (understood) tôn philoúntōn aspasmous en taîs agoraîs {τῶν φιλούντων ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς | tôn philoúntōn aspasmous en taîs agoraîs} “those loving greetings in the marketplaces.” The participles thelóntōn and philoúntōn are attributive, characterizing the scribes by habitual desires and affections rather than isolated acts.
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.
