KAI en tê di-da-KHÊ au-TOU E-le-gen BLE-pe-te a-PO tôn gram-ma-TE-ôn tôn the-LON-tôn en sto-LAIS pe-ri-pa-TEIN KAI a-spas-MOUS en tais a-go-RAIS
Exegesis
The imperative Blepete {Βλέπετε | Vlé-pe-te} “beware” introduces an urgent admonition, with the prepositional phrase apo tōn grammatēōn {ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων | a-pó tōn gra-ma-té-ōn} “from the scribes” using apo to express separation or avoidance.
This object is further specified by the genitive participial phrase tōn thelontōn en stolais peripatein {τῶν θελόντων ἐν στολαῖς περιπατεῖν | tōn the-lón-tōn en sto-laîs pe-ri-pa-teîn} “those who desire to walk about in robes,” where thelontōn presents their desire as a continuing disposition and the infinitive peripatein expresses the content of that desire.
In context — Mark 12:38
And in His teaching He was saying, “Beware of the scribes , those who desire to walk about in robes and greetings in the marketplaces.”
