Luke 20:41-47

41But he said to them, “How is it that they say that the Christ is David’s son?

42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand,

43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’

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

45As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

46“Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

47They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. They will receive a more severe punishment.”
