New Testament

Luke 20:40-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

40. And they no longer dared to question him about anything.

41. But he said to them: "How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?

42. Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,

43. until I set your enemies as your footstool.'

44. Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?"

45. Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:

46. "Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,

47. who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation."
