Exegesis
The sequence kai prōtokathedrías en taîs synagōgaîs kai prōtoklísías en toîs deípnois {καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις | kaí prōtokathedrías en taîs synagōgaîs kaí prōtoklísías en toîs deípnois} continues the list of accusative objects coordinated with aspasmous, showing that the scribes “love” not only greetings but also prominent seats in religious and social contexts.
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.
