Luke 20:41-47

Whose Son Is the Christ?

41 Jesus said to them, "Why do people say that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 David himself says in the Book of Psalms, " 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand
43 until I put your enemies under your control." ' (Psalm 110:1)
44 David calls him 'Lord.' So how can he be David's son?"
45 All the people were listening. Jesus said to his disciples,
46 "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in long robes. They love to be greeted in the market places. They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues. They also love to have the places of honor at dinners.
47 They take over the houses of widows. They say long prayers to show off. God will punish those men very much."
