40

41
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
42
and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand
43
until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
44
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45
And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46
Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
47
who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
