And the scribe said unto Him, "Well, Master, thou hast said the truth, for there is one God, and there is none other than He.
33

And Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, "How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

40
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation."
