Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 37-54 - We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed an new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they ma insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, an disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness an patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and tha thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
43. Pharisees (toiv Farisaioiv). 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.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:43 {The chief seats in the synagogues} (ten prwtokaqedrian en tais sunagwgais). Singular here, plural in #Mt 23:6. this semi-circular bench faced the congregation. #Mt 23:6 has also the chief place at feasts given by Luke also in that discourse (#20:46) as well as in #14:7, a marked characteristic of the Pharisees.
