Luke 20:41-47 Common English Bible (CEB)

41. Jesus said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

42. David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side

43. until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’

44. Since David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be David’s son?"

45. In the presence of all the people, Jesus said to his disciples,

46. "Watch out for the legal experts. They like to walk around in long robes. They love being greeted with honor in the markets. They long for the places of honor in the synagogues and at banquets.

47. They are the ones who cheat widows out of their homes, and to show off they say long prayers. They will be judged most harshly."
