In Luke 20:46-47, Jesus warned the disciples against the bad examples of the teachers of the law, for they (the teachers of the law of Jesus' day) are the ones who will get punished 'most' severely.The word 'most' indicates that the punishment (as well as reward) that each individual would be appointed to receive both while in this world as well as in the world to ccome varies depending on who you are and what you do here while in the body.
It is surprising that it is not such criminals like serial killers or sex offenders but peoople like "teachers of the law" who will get punished most severely. Why?
The answer seems hinted in the phrase in v. 47, "for s show".
The scripture says the unseen is eternal whereas what is seen is temporary. (Matthew 6:6,18)
As the teachers of the law indulge themselves in the seen, neglecting the unseen, sooner than later they will go dry, dead, and then damned.
