39
And some of the scribes answered [and] said, "Teacher, you have spoken well."
40

David’s Son and Lord
41 But he said to them, "In what sense do they say [that] the Christ is David's son?
42

Warning to Beware of the Scribes
45 And [while] all the people were listening, he said to the disciples,
46
"Beware of the scribes, who like walking around in long robes and who love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets,
47
who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy [prayers] for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!"
