Phileo is used in Matthew.
"They love (phileo) the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. (Matthew 23:6-7)
Agape is used in the parallel in Luke.
"Woe to you Pharisees! For you love (agape) the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places. (Luke 11:43)
We've been told that "agape" and "phileo" are two different types of loves. That isn't necessarily so, is it?
