44 "David here designates the Messiah as 'my Master' - so how can the Messiah also be his 'son'?"
45 With everybody listening, Jesus spoke to his disciples.
46 "Watch out for the religion scholars. They love to walk around in academic gowns, preen in the radiance of public flattery, bask in prominent positions, sit at the head table at every church function.
