It denotes a position of prestige and authority, typically sought after by those desiring recognition and status.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Jewish society, seating arrangements were significant indicators of social status. The "chief seats" in synagogues were reserved for respected leaders, such as Pharisees and scribes, who were often seen as authorities in religious and community matters. These seats were positioned to face the congregation, symbolizing both honor and responsibility. The desire for such seats was often criticized by Jesus as a reflection of pride and hypocrisy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4413.htm">prótos</a> and <a href="/greek/2515.htm">kathedra</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the chief seat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chief seats (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4410: πρωτοκαθεδρία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρωτοκαθεδρία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πρωτοκαθεδρίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">πρῶτος</span> and <span class="greek2">καθέδρα</span> which see), <span class="accented">a sitting in the first seat, the first or chief seat</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-6.htm">Matthew 23:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-39.htm">Mark 12:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-43.htm">Luke 11:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-46.htm">Luke 20:46</a>.
