<p>23:7&nbsp;<em>And the salutations in the marketplaces</em>- The Lord&rsquo;s reason for going to the market was to invite men to work in the vineyard and receive the penny of salvation (20:3); and His people sitting in the markets sought to persuade others of the need to respond to the Gospel (11:16). The Pharisees went to the markets to simply flaunt their external spirituality. Again, note how their behaviour was the very inversion of true spirituality.</p><p><em>And to be called of men, Rabbi</em>- This uses&nbsp;<em>kaleo,&nbsp;</em>the standard word translated &lsquo;call&rsquo;. The Lord and His followers&nbsp;<em>call men</em>&nbsp;to the Kingdom from the markets (25:14; Lk. 14:16); rather than going to the markets to be&nbsp;<em>called something by men</em>. Again we see how the Pharisees&rsquo; behaviour was a parody of true spirituality.</p>
