41. Then Jesus said, “Why do people say that the Messiah is the Son of David?
42. In the book of Psalms, David himself says, ‘The Lord God said to my Lord: Sit by me at my right side,
43. and I will put your enemies under your power.’ Psalm 110:1
44. David calls the Messiah ‘Lord.’ So how can the Messiah also be David’s son?”
45. While all the people were listening to Jesus, he said to his followers,
46. “Be careful of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes that look important. And they love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces. They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
47. But they cheat widows and take their homes. Then they try to make themselves look good by saying long prayers. God will punish them very much.”
