Luke 20:44

Verse 44 of 47. The 20th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

40They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

41He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

42David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,

43until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’

44“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

45In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

46“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

47who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
