New Testament

Mark 12:35-40 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

35. As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, “How do the scribes claim that the Messiah is the son of David?

36. David himself, inspired by the holy Spirit, said:‘The Lord said to my lord,“Sit at my right handuntil I place your enemies under your feet.”’

37. David himself calls him ‘lord’; so how is he his son?” [The] great crowd heard this with delight.

38. In the course of his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces,

39. seats of honor in synagogues, and places of honor at banquets.

40. They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext, recite lengthy prayers. They will receive a very severe condemnation.”
