Luke 20:41-47

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 ¹But he said to them, "How can they say that ²the Christ is ³David's son?

42 For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, ⁴"'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

43 until I make your enemies ⁵your footstool.'

44 David thus calls him Lord, so ⁶how is he his son?"

Beware of the Scribes

45 ⁷And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,

46 "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and ⁸the places of honor at feasts,

47 ⁹who devour widows' houses and ¹⁰for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
