Greek Commentary for Luke 11:43
Singular here, plural in Matthew 23:6. This semi-circular bench faced the congregation. Matthew 23:6 has also the chief place at feasts given by Luke also in that discourse (Luke 20:46) as well as in Luke 14:7, a marked characteristic of the Pharisees. [source]
Luke's form of expression differs from that of Matthew, who says, “ye Pharisees; while Luke has “woe unto you, the Pharisees,” marking them by the article as a well-known religious body. [source]
