Luke 20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
The ones devouring the households of the bereaved! And for a purpose, long are they are made to pray themselves, the ones, making themselves offer tedious prayers as a pretense! These [or you] ones giving/getting an excessive judgment!
In the parallel verse in Mark, there are no active verbs and it seems more like simply name calling.
Sometimes it seems the KJV translators want to make verses seem the same by translating different Greek words in the same way. In this verse, the word translated as "damnation" is frequently translated as "judgment" because Jesus doesn't always use it to mean condemnation. Other times, the KJV wants to make the same words in similar verses seem different by translating them differently. That is the case here with "shew" which isn't the word translated as "shew" elsewhere, but the word translated as "pretense" in the two parallel verses. Several uncommon words that are used mostly in the parallel verse in Matthew and Mark.
"Which" is from the article that proceeds the following verb that is used as a noun.
"Devour" is from a verb acting as a noun that means "to eat up" and "to devour." Christ uses this term as a humorous exaggeration because it refers to animals eating prey. It also means "to corrode" or "to be gnawed." It is no in the second person because this noun form has no "person." It should be translated as "the ones devouring."
The Greek word translated as "house," in Christ's time, was not only the physical building but the whole household, its members, its property, business interests, and position in the community, all connected to the "name" of the head of the house.
The word translated as "widows" more generally means "bereaved."
The Greek word translated as "for a shew" means "motive" or "pretense." It describes the purpose of the prayer. It is translated as "pretense" in the versions of this verse in other Gospels.
"Make...prayers" is from the only active verb in the verse. It means "to offer prayers or vows", "to worship," and "to pray for a thing." Again, this is not a active verb, but a noun introduced by an article ("the ones offering"). It is also in the form of a verb acting on itself, so "they are made themselves to offer prayers". In the other versions of this verse, this verb is also an adjective, but it is active here.
The Greek word translated as "long" means "long", "tall", "high", "deep", "tedious," etc. It is in the form of an adjective, but there is no noun that matches its form. However, the "prayers" is understood as part of the verb so "tedious" prayers.
There is no noun for "prayers," but it is understood as part of the verb.

The word translated as "greater", it means "extraordinary" "superfluous," "excessive," and "extravagant." The word is an exaggeration.
