Luke 20:41-47

41Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David?

42David himself declares 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.” ’

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

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

46“Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

47They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
