Luke 20:41-47 ▼

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

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

43 until I make your enemies your footstool.’

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

45 While 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.

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