Amplified Bible

Luke 20:41-47

41Then He said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) is David’s son?

42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord (the Father) said to my Lord (the Son, the Messiah), “Sit at My right hand,

43Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’

44So David calls Him (the Son) ‘Lord,’ and how then is He David’s son?”

45And with all the people listening, He said to His disciples,

46“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes [displaying their prominence], and love respectful greetings in the [crowded] market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.

47These [men] who confiscate and devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense [to appear devout] offer long prayers. These [men] will receive the greater [sentence of] condemnation.”
