Luke 20:42-47 Good News Bible (GNB)

42. For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here on my right

43. until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.’

44. David called him ‘Lord’; how, then, can the Messiah be David's descendant?”

45. As all the people listened to him, Jesus said to his disciples,

46. “Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who like to walk about in their long robes and love to be greeted with respect in the market place; who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts;

47. who take advantage of widows and rob them of their homes, and then make a show of saying long prayers! Their punishment will be all the worse!”
