Then in the audience of all the people Whilst they were about him, and hearing him, and for their sakes too; he said unto his disciples; yea, he spake to the multitude, as well as to the disciples, as appears from ( Matthew 23:1 ) .
44
David thus calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?"
45
In the hearing of all the people he said to the disciples,
46
"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.
47
They devour widows' houses and for the sake of appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation."
