Luke 20:37-47

37Moses even indicated in the passage about the burning bush that the dead are raised, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

38He is not the God of the dead but of the living, because all are living to him.”

39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”

40And they no longer dared to ask him anything.

41Then he said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is the son of David?

42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms: The Lord declared to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand

43until I make your enemies your footstool.’

44David calls him ‘Lord.’ How, then, can he be his son?”

45While all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

46“Beware of the scribes, who want to go around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher judgment.”
