Mark 12:35-40

35 ¹And as ²Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that ³the Christ is the son of David?

36 David himself, ⁴in the Holy Spirit, declared, ⁵"'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies ⁶under your feet.'

37 David himself calls him Lord. So ⁷how is he his son?" And the great throng ⁸heard him gladly.

38 ⁹And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces

39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and ¹⁰the places of honor at feasts,

40 ¹¹who devour widows' houses and ¹²for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
